Nonattachment has been found to be a potentially important mental quality in mitigating psychological distress and promoting well-being across student and community adult populations. This study investigated the relationships between nonattachment and three workplace-related variables, namely control at work, psychological safety, and supervisor support, on mental well-being of a representative sample of working adults in Hong Kong.
This is a cross-sectional investigation using the data provided by 1008 working adults who participated in a population-based telephone survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to test how nonattachment may be related to mental well-being of working adults, with the relationship being mediated by three workplace-related variables.
Results indicated that nonattachment was positively associated with flourishing. This association was mediated by perceived supervisor support and control at work. In addition, nonattachment was negatively related to depression and anxiety symptoms and the association was only mediated by perceived supervisor support. Psychological safety did not significantly mediate the effect of nonattachment on mental well-being.
This study provides suggestive evidence that staff's perception towards supervisors and level of control at work can bridge the relationship between nonattachment and employee well-being. Potential cultural nuance that may have contributed to the nonsignificance of psychological safety was discussed.
非执着已被发现是一种潜在的重要心理品质，有助于减轻学生和社区成年人群体的心理困扰并促进幸福感。本研究调查了非执着与三个与工作场所相关的变量（即工作控制、心理安全感和上级支持）之间的关系，这些变量与香港在职成年人代表性样本的心理健康状况有关。
这是一项横断面调查，使用了1008名参与基于人群的电话调查的在职成年人提供的数据。进行了结构方程模型（SEM）分析，以检验非执着与在职成年人心理健康之间的关系，该关系由三个与工作场所相关的变量介导。
结果表明，非执着与蓬勃发展呈正相关。这种关联由感知到的上级支持和工作控制介导。此外，非执着与抑郁和焦虑症状呈负相关，且该关联仅由感知到的上级支持介导。心理安全感并未显著介导非执着对心理健康的影响。
本研究提供了暗示性证据，表明员工对上级的看法和工作控制水平可以在非执着与员工幸福感之间架起桥梁。讨论了可能导致心理安全感不显著的潜在文化细微差别。
