Building on the Job Demands-Resources model, this study aims to investigate the interaction between job characteristics and work-related stress indicators in a sample of 211 Italian Armed Forces personnel. Using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), three distinct profiles emerged based on job demands (workload and perception of performing high-risk work) and resources (relationships with colleagues and supervisors, perceived meaningfulness of work, and feedback received on quality of work). The first profile, characterized by high demands and low resources, was associated with higher levels of work-family conflict and need for recovery (an indicator of perceived fatigue at the end of the workday). The second profile, characterized by high resources and low demands, showed the lowest levels of both need for recovery and work-family conflict, while the third profile showed average scores on demands, resources, and outcome variables. These findings are in line with the chosen theoretical framework and prompt several reflections on work-related well-being in the armed forces and what can promote it. Stemming from the results is the importance of organizational interventions designed to protect employees' well-being and support their effective functioning. Such interventions are particularly critical within the armed forces context, where operational performance has a direct impact on the safety and well-being of citizens.
基于工作需求-资源模型，本研究旨在调查211名意大利武装部队人员样本中工作特征与工作相关压力指标之间的相互作用。使用潜在剖面分析（LPA），根据工作需求（工作量和对从事高风险工作的认知）和资源（与同事和上级的关系、工作的感知意义以及工作质量反馈）出现了三种不同的剖面。第一个剖面的特点是高需求和低资源，与较高水平的工作-家庭冲突和恢复需求（工作日结束时感知疲劳的指标）相关。第二个剖面的特点是高资源和低需求，显示出恢复需求和工作-家庭冲突的最低水平，而第三个剖面在需求、资源和结果变量上显示出平均得分。这些发现与所选的理论框架一致，并引发了对武装部队中与工作相关的幸福感以及促进幸福感的因素的若干思考。从结果中可以看出，旨在保护员工幸福感并支持其有效运作的组织干预措施很重要。这种干预措施在武装部队背景下尤为关键，因为作战表现直接影响公民的安全和幸福感。
