To examine relationships between work-based cultural activities and mental employee health in working Swedes.
A positive relationship between frequent cultural activity at work and good employee health was expected.
Random sample of working Swedish men and women in three waves, 2006, 2008 and 2010, on average 60 % participation rate.
A postal questionnaire with questions about cultural activities organised for employees and about emotional exhaustion (Maslach) and depressive symptoms (short form of SCL). Employee assessments of "non-listening manager" and work environment ("psychological demands" and "decision latitude") as well as socioeconomic variables were covariates. Cross-sectional analyses for each study year as well as prospective analyses for 2006-2008 and 2008-2010 were performed.
Lower frequency of cultural activities at work during the period of high unemployment. The effects of relationships with emotional exhaustion were more significant than those with depressive symptoms. The associations were attenuated when adjustments were made for manager function (does your manager listen?) and demand/control. Associations were more pronounced during the period with low unemployment and high cultural activity at work (2008). In a prospective analysis, cultural activity at work in 2008 had an independent statistically significant "protective" effect on emotional exhaustion in 2010. No corresponding such association was found between 2006 and 2008.
Cultural activities at work vary according to business cycle and have a statistical association with mental employee health, particularly with emotional exhaustion.
There are particularly pronounced statistical protective effects of frequent cultural activity at work on likelihood of emotional exhaustion among employees.
研究工作场所文化活动与瑞典员工心理健康之间的关系。
预计工作中频繁的文化活动与良好的员工健康之间存在正相关关系。
2006 年、2008 年和 2010 年，对工作中的瑞典男性和女性进行随机样本调查，平均参与率为 60%。
使用邮寄问卷，询问员工组织的文化活动以及情绪疲惫（Maslach）和抑郁症状（SCL 简短形式）。将员工对“不倾听经理”和工作环境（“心理需求”和“决策自由度”）的评估以及社会经济变量作为协变量。对每个研究年份进行横断面分析，并对 2006-2008 年和 2008-2010 年进行前瞻性分析。
在高失业率期间，工作场所文化活动的频率较低。与抑郁症状相比，与情绪疲惫的关系更为显著。当调整经理职能（你的经理是否倾听？）和需求/控制时，这些关联会减弱。在失业率较低且工作场所文化活动较高的时期（2008 年），关联更为明显。在前瞻性分析中，2008 年的工作场所文化活动对 2010 年的情绪疲惫具有独立的统计学显著“保护”作用。在 2006 年至 2008 年之间没有发现这种关联。
工作场所文化活动随商业周期而变化，与员工心理健康存在统计学关联，尤其是与情绪疲惫。
工作中频繁的文化活动对员工情绪疲惫的发生具有明显的统计学保护作用。
