Abstract The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that vacation relief decreases psychological and behavioral strains caused by job stressors. We examined the impact of job stress and vacation on strain on 87 blue-collar employees in an industrial enterprise in central Israel. Whereas former respite research focused on the impact of vacation only on psychological strains such as burnout and job and life satisfaction, the current study also examined a behavioral strain, absenteeism. The employees completed questionnaires before and after vacation and again four weeks later. Our findings show that vacation alleviated perceived job stress and bumout as predicted, replicating findings that a respite from work diminishes levels of strain to lower than chronic, on-the-job levels. We found declines in burnout immediately after the vacation and a return to prevacation levels four weeks later, and a similar pattern with regard to absenteeism.
摘要 本研究旨在验证这样一个假设，即休假可以缓解工作压力源导致的心理和行为压力。我们在以色列中部的一家工业企业中对 87 名蓝领员工进行了研究，考察了工作压力和休假对压力的影响。而之前关于休息的研究主要集中在休假对心理压力（如倦怠和工作与生活满意度）的影响上，本研究还考察了行为压力（缺勤）。员工们在休假前后以及四周后填写了问卷。我们的研究结果表明，正如预期的那样，休假减轻了员工的工作压力和倦怠感，这与休息可以减轻压力，使其低于长期工作时的慢性水平的研究结果一致。我们发现，休假后员工的倦怠感立即下降，四周后又恢复到休假前的水平，缺勤情况也呈现出类似的模式。
