Abstract

Childhood adversity stains the past of millions of working adults worldwide. The impact on health and well-being is substantial-a now-acknowledged public health crisis. Yet, research in the organizational sciences has failed to recognize the burden that individuals with this difficult history carry with them into the workforce. By synthesizing an interdisciplinary body of scholarship into a cohesive theoretical framework, we provide a foundation for emerging work in occupational health psychology. Empirically, across two single-level multiwave studies, we demonstrate the importance of adversity in one's childhood and its impact on the workplace specifically showing that child adversity, directly and indirectly, impacts worker attitudes and discretionary behaviors. Further, providing one of the few examinations of stress proliferation theory in the workplace, we demonstrate adulthood adversity as an essential mediating mechanism that leads to these work outcomes. From an applied perspective, our results highlight a need to focus on the healing and recovery of adult survivors as they work toward breaking the chains of the past in their lives and at work. In presenting this life course perspective on organizational attitudes and behaviors, our work offers a unique and vital contribution to occupational health theory, practice, and research.

过去的枷锁:从生命历程的角度看童年逆境与组织态度和行为。
童年的不幸玷污了全世界数百万工作成人的过去。这对健康和幸福的影响是巨大的--是现在公认的公共健康危机。然而,组织科学领域的研究却未能认识到有过这种艰难经历的人在进入职场后所背负的负担。通过将跨学科的学术研究综合为一个具有凝聚力的理论框架,我们为职业健康心理学的新兴研究奠定了基础。从经验上讲,通过两项单层次多波研究,我们证明了童年逆境的重要性及其对工作场所的影响,特别是儿童逆境直接或间接地影响了工人的态度和自由裁量行为。此外,作为为数不多的对工作场所压力扩散理论的研究之一,我们证明了成年期的逆境是导致这些工作结果的重要中介机制。从应用的角度来看,我们的研究结果强调,在成年幸存者努力打破生活和工作中过去的枷锁时,有必要关注他们的愈合和恢复。通过对组织态度和行为的生命历程透视,我们的工作为职业健康理论、实践和研究做出了独特而重要的贡献。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
