This study investigated the influences of job characteristics on job satisfaction, stress and depression among South African white collar workers. Participants were managers in full-time employment with large organisations. They completed the Job Diagnostic Survey, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. A regression approach was used to predict job satisfaction, stress and depression from job characteristics. Job characteristics (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback) predicted job satisfaction, as well as stress and depression. Job characteristics are weak predictors of perceived stress and depression. Work related factors, such as interpersonal relations and organisational culture, may better predict mental health in work settings.
本研究调查了工作特征对南非白领员工工作满意度、压力和抑郁的影响。参与者为大型组织中的全职经理。他们完成了工作诊断调查、感知压力量表和贝克抑郁量表。采用回归方法从工作特征预测工作满意度、压力和抑郁。工作特征(技能多样性、任务完整性、任务重要性、自主性和反馈)预测了工作满意度以及压力和抑郁。工作特征对感知压力和抑郁的预测力较弱。人际关系和组织文化等与工作相关的因素可能能更好地预测工作环境中的心理健康。
