Whilst research has assessed the multidimensionality of organizational stressors, severity has been overlooked. This study aimed to develop and validate a severity response scale, before examining the relationship between organizational stressor severity, physical health, and well-being, and if severity mediated the relationship between stressor occurrence and outcomes. 403 sport performers (186 male; = 21.43) completed a questionnaire assessing study variables and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Organizational stressor severity had a significant, negative relationship with physical health ( = -.374, < .001), but notwith hedonic or eudaimonic well-being ( = .624 and .203). Direct effects were found for neuroticism ( = -0.632, < .001) and stressor frequency ( = -0.226, = .016) on physical health; however, when adding severity as a mediator, stressor frequency positively predicted stressor severity ( = 1.025, < .001); however, the indirect effect of stressor frequency on physical health via stressor severity ( = -0.018, = .885) and the direct effect between stressor frequency and physical health ( = -0.191, = .204) were non-significant. These novel findings highlight that higher stressor severity is associated with higher physical health complaints, and that repeated exposure to stressors may heighten an vulnerability to future stressors.
虽然研究已经评估了组织压力源的多维性，但严重程度却被忽视了。本研究旨在开发和验证严重程度反应量表，然后研究组织压力源严重程度与身体健康和幸福感之间的关系，以及严重程度是否在压力源发生与结果之间起中介作用。403 名运动员（186 名男性；平均年龄 21.43 岁）完成了一份问卷，评估了研究变量，使用结构方程模型分析了数据。组织压力源严重程度与身体健康呈显著负相关（ = -.374， < .001），但与享乐或幸福无显著相关（ = .624 和.203）。发现神经质（ = -0.632， < .001）和压力源频率（ = -0.226， = .016）对身体健康有直接影响；然而，当将严重程度作为中介加入时，压力源频率正向预测压力源严重程度（ = 1.025， < .001）；然而，压力源频率通过压力源严重程度对身体健康的间接效应（ = -0.018， = .885）和压力源频率与身体健康之间的直接效应（ = -0.191， = .204）均不显著。这些新发现强调，较高的压力源严重程度与较高的身体健康抱怨相关，并且反复暴露于压力源可能会增加对未来压力源的脆弱性。
