The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the financial crisis on psychological work stress among financial workers and lawyers.
The Chinese versions of Karasek's job content questionnaire (C-JCQ) and Siegrist's ERI questionnaire (C-ERI) were used to measure work stress, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (C-CBI) questionnaire was used to measure personal and work-related burnout for 38 financial workers and 97 lawyers before and after the financial crisis in 2008. A paired t test was used to compare changes in work stress and burnout. A logistic regression was performed to determine the association between psychosocial work stress and burnout.
After the financial crisis, financial workers reported significantly higher stress from fear of layoffs, increased experiences of undesirable changes and more fear of making mistakes during work. On the contrary, lawyers reported significantly higher scores of reward, fewer psychological demands and less exhaustion. In addition to high psychological demand and a high effort-reward ratio, high effort, over-commitment and stress of layoffs also contributed to personal and work-related burnout after the financial crisis. After the financial crisis, lawyers' personal burnout decreased with the increase of reward, and their work-related burnout decreased with the decrease in psychological demand.
The financial crisis has an unequal psychological impact on financial workers and lawyers. Financial workers' psychosocial work stress and burnout were aggravated, while lawyers' psychosocial work stress and burnout were alleviated.
本研究旨在探讨金融危机对金融从业者和律师心理工作压力的影响。
采用中文版工作内容问卷（C-JCQ）和 Siegrist 的职业紧张指标问卷（C-ERI）测量工作压力，采用哥本哈根倦怠量表（C-CBI）问卷测量金融危机前后（2008 年）38 名金融从业者和 97 名律师的个人和工作相关倦怠。采用配对 t 检验比较工作压力和倦怠的变化。采用逻辑回归分析心理社会工作压力与倦怠的关系。
金融危机后，金融从业者报告了更高的失业恐惧、更多的不期望变化经历以及更多的工作犯错恐惧。相比之下，律师报告了更高的奖励得分、更少的心理需求和更少的疲惫感。除了高心理需求和高努力-回报比之外，高努力、过度投入和失业压力也导致了金融危机后的个人和工作相关倦怠。金融危机后，律师的个人倦怠随着奖励的增加而减少，工作相关倦怠随着心理需求的减少而减少。
金融危机对金融从业者和律师的心理影响是不平等的。金融从业者的心理社会工作压力和倦怠加剧，而律师的心理社会工作压力和倦怠减轻。
