Associations between the quality of social relationships at work and mental and self-reported health were examined to assess whether these associations were independent of job strain. The study was based on cross-sectional survey data from 728 employees (response rate 58%) and included the Demand-Control-(Support) (DC-S) model, six items on the quality of social relationships at the workplace, the General Health Questionnaire (30), and an item on self-reported physical health. Logistic regression analyses were used. A first set of models were run with adjustment for age, sex, and socioeconomic group. A second set of models were run adjusted for the dimensions of the DC-S model. Positive associations were found between the quality of social relationships and mental health as well as self-rated physical health, and these associations remained significant even after adjustment for the dimensions. The findings add support to the Health and Safety Executive stress management standards on social relationships at the workplace.
研究考察了工作中社会关系质量与心理健康及自我报告的健康状况之间的关联,以评估这些关联是否独立于工作压力。该研究基于对728名员工的横断面调查数据(回复率58%),包括需求-控制-(支持)(DC-S)模型、关于工作场所社会关系质量的六个项目、一般健康问卷(30项)以及一个关于自我报告身体健康的项目。采用逻辑回归分析。第一组模型在对年龄、性别和社会经济群体进行调整后运行。第二组模型在对DC-S模型的维度进行调整后运行。研究发现社会关系质量与心理健康以及自我评定的身体健康之间存在正相关,即使在对维度进行调整后,这些关联仍然显著。这些发现为健康与安全执行局关于工作场所社会关系的压力管理标准提供了支持。
