This study examines the association between social capital at work and depressive symptoms in employees.
Data for this cross-sectional study were collected through an online survey with the full population of employees from six companies in the German information and communication technology sector (response rate: 58.4%). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.
Results of data from a total of 328 employees suggest that, after controlling for sociodemographic factors, health awareness, and job strain, lower levels of perceived social capital at work are associated with the experience of depressive symptoms (OR = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.64-0.90).
Our findings suggest that characteristics of high social capital at work, such as an established environment of trust and a sense of common values and convictions, could be an essential resource for preventing depressive disorders.
本研究旨在探讨工作场所社会资本与员工抑郁症状之间的关联。
本横断面研究的数据通过在线调查从德国信息和通信技术行业的六家公司的全体员工中收集（应答率：58.4%）。采用多变量逻辑回归分析。
来自总共 328 名员工的数据结果表明，在控制社会人口因素、健康意识和工作压力后，工作场所感知社会资本水平较低与抑郁症状的发生相关（OR = 0.76；95%CI：0.64-0.90）。
我们的研究结果表明，工作场所社会资本的高特征，如信任的既定环境以及共同价值观和信念感，可能是预防抑郁障碍的重要资源。
