Profound changes in modern economic market and current monetary hardship have rendered the financial industry as one of most stressful occupational sectors worldwide. Recurrently, bank employees complain of excessive work demands and increased violence in the bank branch (Giga and Hoel, 2003). Hectic labour conditions of bank workplace are associated with high level of distress, resulting in burnout (Li et al., 2015; Valente et al., 2016a), poor health (Silva and Barreto, 2012) and depressive symptoms (Valente et al., 2016b).
