Recent studies have identified high levels of job stress in military personnel. This study examined the relationship among job stress, depression, work performance, types of stressors, and perceptions about supervisors in military personnel.
Eight hundred nine military personnel answered a 43-item survey on work stress, physical and emotional health, work performance, perceptions about leadership, job stressors, and demographics.
More than one- quarter (27.4%) of this military population reported suffering from significant job stress. Both the report of work stress and depression were significantly related to impaired work performance, more days of missed work, poorer physical health, and negative perceptions about the abilities of supervisors and commanders. Depression and job stress were significantly and positively related to each other.
These results support accumulating data indicating that work stress is a significant occupational health hazard in the routine military work environment. Targeting and eliminating sources of job stress should be a priority for the U.S. military to preserve and protect the mental health of military personnel.
近期研究已确定军事人员存在高水平的工作压力。本研究探讨了军事人员的工作压力、抑郁、工作绩效、压力源类型以及对上级的看法之间的关系。
809名军事人员回答了一项关于工作压力、身心健康、工作绩效、对领导的看法、工作压力源和人口统计学的43项调查问卷。
超过四分之一（27.4%）的军事人员报告称遭受严重的工作压力。工作压力报告和抑郁都与工作绩效受损、更多的旷工天数、较差的身体健康以及对上级和指挥官能力的负面看法显著相关。抑郁和工作压力彼此显著正相关。
这些结果支持了越来越多的数据，表明工作压力是日常军事工作环境中的重大职业健康危害。针对并消除工作压力源应成为美国军方维护和保护军事人员心理健康的优先事项。
