Abstract

This research introduces strength-based therapeutic recreation (STR) as an innovative approach to address job stress, work–family conflict, and family–work conflict among employees. STR involves personalized leisure activities tailored to individuals’ signature character strengths in daily life. The study, encompassing 82 married employees (70.73% female, mean age = 36.77 years), reveals significant reductions in job stress and both work–family and family–work conflicts within the experimental group undergoing a 10-week STR workshop. By empowering employees to engage in strength-based leisure activities, STR enhances the propensity to reduce job stress, work–family conflict, and family–work conflict. This approach holds practical potential for organizations seeking to improve employee mental health and productivity through tailored interventions.

应用以力量为基础的治疗性娱乐来应对工作压力、工作-家庭冲突和家庭-工作冲突
本研究介绍了基于力量的治疗性娱乐活动(STR),作为一种创新方法,用于解决员工的工作压力、工作与家庭冲突以及家庭与工作冲突。STR 包括根据个人在日常生活中的特点优势量身定制的个性化休闲活动。这项研究涵盖了 82 名已婚员工(70.73% 为女性,平均年龄为 36.77 岁),结果显示,接受为期 10 周 STR 培训的实验组员工的工作压力以及工作与家庭和家庭与工作之间的冲突均有显著减少。通过让员工参与以力量为基础的休闲活动,STR 增强了员工减少工作压力、工作-家庭冲突和家庭-工作冲突的倾向。对于希望通过量身定制的干预措施来改善员工心理健康和提高工作效率的组织机构来说,这种方法具有实用潜力。
