Mental health self-management (MHS) strategies may help workers with mental health concerns preserve and enhance their well-being. However, little research has explored how these strategies may help mitigate the effects of negative psychosocial work factors (PWFs) on well-being outcomes. This cross-sectional study investigated (1) the relationship between PWFs and well-being, (2) the association between MHS at work and well-being, and (3) the moderating role of self-management in preventing negative PWFs' deleterious effects. A sample of 896 Francophone workers in Canada completed a questionnaire that included self-reported measures related to workplace, self-management, and well-being. Structural equation modeling (conducted via the MPlus software, version 8.6) revealed that psychological demands were negatively related to positive well-being outcomes and positively associated with adverse well-being outcomes. Competency-related autonomy was positively associated with flourishing, and recognition was positively associated with flourishing and positive well-being at work, as well as being negatively associated with burnout and depression. Surprisingly, supervisor support was negatively related to positive well-being and positively related to burnout and depression. MHS was positively associated with positive well-being at work, flourishing, and work performance, but had no relationship with negative mental health. MHS significantly moderated the relationship between each PWF and well-being at work in both beneficial and adverse ways, depending on the specific well-being indicator being considered. From a workplace well-being perspective, this suggests that although self-management may help workers preserve and enhance their positive well-being, organizations must also directly target PWFs to prevent negative well-being outcomes.
心理健康自我管理(MHS)策略可能有助于有心理健康问题的员工维护和提升自身幸福感。然而,很少有研究探讨这些策略如何帮助减轻负面心理社会工作因素(PWFs)对幸福感结果的影响。这项横断面研究调查了:(1)PWFs与幸福感之间的关系;(2)工作中的MHS与幸福感之间的关联;(3)自我管理在预防负面PWFs有害影响方面的调节作用。加拿大896名说法语的员工样本完成了一份问卷,其中包括与工作场所、自我管理和幸福感相关的自我报告测量。结构方程模型(通过MPlus软件8.6版进行)显示,心理需求与积极的幸福感结果呈负相关,与不良的幸福感结果呈正相关。与能力相关的自主性与蓬勃发展呈正相关,认可与蓬勃发展、工作中的积极幸福感呈正相关,与倦怠和抑郁呈负相关。令人惊讶的是,上级支持与积极幸福感呈负相关,与倦怠和抑郁呈正相关。MHS与工作中的积极幸福感、蓬勃发展和工作绩效呈正相关,但与负面心理健康无关。MHS根据所考虑的具体幸福感指标,以有益和不利的方式显著调节了每个PWF与工作幸福感之间的关系。从工作场所幸福感的角度来看,这表明虽然自我管理可能有助于员工维护和提升他们的积极幸福感,但组织也必须直接针对PWFs来预防负面的幸福感结果。
