Workplace victimization is one of most serious problems for affecting alcohol misuse in junior military personnel (JMP) that has been largely overlooked in research attention. Studies on workplace victimization and alcohol misuse indicate anger as mediator. Workplace victimization may affect alcohol misuse (in)directly through the mediator.
A sample of JMP (N = 815) completed an offline survey, consisting of the revised Conflict Tactics Scale-2, Composite International Diagnostic Interview Screening Scale, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Frequency, t-test and chi-square test, and mediation analyses were conducted to assess the effects of workplace victimization on alcohol misuse, mediated via anger.
Victims in the workplace showed higher level of anger and alcohol misuse. In mediation analyses, workplace victimization was related to higher levels of anger, which, in turn, were associated with greater alcohol misuse.
Study limitations included the use of cross-sectional data with the use of retrospective self-report.
Workplace victimization in JMP is prevalent (17.7%), and alcohol misuse is associated with effects of workplace victimization and anger with full mediation path. Findings suggest that eliminating workplace victimization against JMP and intervention for anger should be focused upon, and implemented for online alcohol misuse prevention in the military context.
工作场所受害是影响初级军事人员（JMP）酗酒的最严重问题之一，但在研究中却被严重忽视。关于工作场所受害和酗酒的研究表明，愤怒是其中的一个中介因素。工作场所受害可能通过中介因素间接或直接影响酗酒。
一组 JMP（N=815）完成了一项离线调查，其中包括修订后的冲突策略量表-2、综合国际诊断访谈筛选量表和酒精使用障碍识别测试。采用频数、t 检验、卡方检验和中介分析来评估工作场所受害对酗酒的影响，中介变量为愤怒。
工作场所的受害者表现出更高水平的愤怒和酗酒。在中介分析中，工作场所受害与更高水平的愤怒有关，而愤怒又与更高水平的酗酒有关。
研究的局限性包括使用横断面数据和回顾性自我报告。
JMP 中工作场所受害很普遍（17.7%），酗酒与工作场所受害和愤怒的影响有关，具有完全中介路径。研究结果表明，应针对 JMP 消除工作场所受害，并针对愤怒采取干预措施，在军事环境中实施在线酗酒预防。
