This study examined whether biological sex moderates the relationship between experiences of workplace culture and urinary levels of catecholamines and their metabolites. We conducted a series of regression analyses (predictors: 3-methoxytyramine (3MT), 5-hydroxyindolacetic (5HIAA), and dopamine (DA); outcomes: employee engagement and workplace culture) in a sample of 218 participants. Compared to men, women rated workplace culture less positively ( = -0.210; < 0.01) and had stronger positive associations with 3MT ( = 0.328; < 0.001), DA ( = 0.376; < 0.001), and 5HIAA ( = 0.168; < 0.01). There was a significant moderation effect between 3MT and sex on employee engagement (b = -1.76 (SE = 0.84); < 0.01), and 3MT had a positive significant association for men with engagement ( < 0.05); however, there was no significant association for women. Findings suggest that for women, less positive experiences with workplace culture could elevate 3MT, stimulating sympathetic nervous tone and potentially amplifying risks for negative health outcomes. Conversely, men who reported higher employee engagement had higher levels of 3MT, suggesting possible health risks associated with high levels of engagement, rather than lack of engagement. Overall, study findings suggested differential health risks based on biological sex, potentially impacting health risk policy development.
本研究考察了生物性别是否会调节职场文化体验与儿茶酚胺及其代谢产物尿液水平之间的关系。我们对218名参与者进行了一系列回归分析(预测变量:3-甲氧基酪胺(3MT)、5-羟吲哚乙酸(5HIAA)和多巴胺(DA);结果变量:员工敬业度和职场文化)。与男性相比,女性对职场文化的评价较低(β = -0.210;p < 0.01),并且与3MT(β = 0.328;p < 0.001)、DA(β = 0.376;p < 0.001)和5HIAA(β = 0.168;p < 0.01)的正相关更强。3MT与性别之间对员工敬业度存在显著的调节效应(b = -1.76(标准误 = 0.84);p < 0.01),3MT对男性的敬业度有显著正相关(p < 0.05);然而,对女性则无显著关联。研究结果表明,对于女性而言,较差的职场文化体验可能会提高3MT水平,刺激交感神经张力,并可能增加负面健康结果的风险。相反,报告员工敬业度较高的男性3MT水平较高,这表明高敬业度可能存在健康风险,而非缺乏敬业度。总体而言,研究结果表明基于生物性别的健康风险存在差异,这可能会影响健康风险政策的制定。
