This article prospectively explores the effects of collective team work engagement and organizational constraints during military deployment on individual-level psychological outcomes afterwards. Participants were 971 Dutch peacekeepers within 93 teams who were deployed between the end of 2008 and beginning of 2010, for an average of 4 months, in the International Security Assistance Force. Surveys were administered 2 months into deployment and 6 months afterwards. Multi-level regression analyses demonstrated that team work engagement during deployment moderated the relation between organizational constraints and post-deployment fatigue symptoms. Team members reported less fatigue symptoms after deployment if they were part of highly engaged teams during deployment, particularly when concerns about organizational constraints during deployment were high. In contrast, low team work engagement was related to more fatigue symptoms, particularly when concerns about organizational constraints were high. Contrary to expectations, no effects for team work engagement or organizational constraints were found for post-traumatic growth. The present study highlights that investing in team work engagement is important for those working in highly demanding jobs.
本文前瞻性地探讨了军事部署期间集体团队工作投入和组织限制对之后个体层面心理结果的影响。参与者为93个团队中的971名荷兰维和人员，他们于2008年底至2010年初被部署到国际安全援助部队，平均为期4个月。在部署2个月后及之后6个月进行了调查。多层次回归分析表明，部署期间的团队工作投入调节了组织限制与部署后疲劳症状之间的关系。如果团队成员在部署期间属于高度投入的团队，尤其是在对部署期间的组织限制担忧较高时，他们在部署后报告的疲劳症状较少。相比之下，团队工作投入较低与更多的疲劳症状相关，尤其是在对组织限制的担忧较高时。与预期相反，未发现团队工作投入或组织限制对创伤后成长有影响。本研究强调，对于从事高要求工作的人来说，投资于团队工作投入很重要。
