Abstract

Purpose: By considering work-related aspects during early intervention and treatment of employees with (subclinical) symptoms of common mental disorders, psychotherapeutic consultation at work (PT-W) aims to increase work-specific self-efficacy (SE) to finally reduce sickness absence and contribute to successful return to work. This study, thus, aims to investigate interrelations between working conditions and work-specific SE among employees before receiving PT-W.

Methods: The study uses baseline data of a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of PT-W in Germany (n = 535). Working conditions were assessed by six scales of the validated Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). SE was assessed by the validated general short occupational self-efficacy (OSE) scale and return-to-work self-efficacy (RTW-SE) scale, two specific forms of self-efficacy. Multiple linear regression models were calculated using working conditions as independent and self-efficacy as dependent variables. Interactions between working conditions and age, gender and current extent of work were added to those models.

Results: Results suggest that quantitative job demands are negatively and development opportunities are positively related to OSE and RTW-SE. Age did not moderate those relationships. The association between development opportunities and OSE was stronger among employees indicating working less number of hours than specified in their contract compared to employees indicating working their full contract hours. Furthermore, interactions with gender were found with social support being only (positively) associated with OSE among male and decision authority being only (positively) associated with OSE among female employees.

Conclusions: The associations between working conditions and work-specific SE support the usefulness of addressing potential reciprocal relationships between those two variables during PT-W to improve mental health of employees.

在工作中接受心理治疗咨询的员工的社会心理工作条件与工作特定自我效能信念之间的关系。

目的：在对有常见精神障碍（亚临床）症状的员工进行早期干预和治疗时，通过考虑与工作相关的方面，工作场所心理治疗咨询（PT-W）旨在提高特定工作的自我效能感（SE），从而最终减少病假并帮助员工成功重返工作岗位。因此，本研究旨在调查员工在接受工作心理治疗咨询前的工作条件与特定工作自我效能之间的相互关系：本研究使用了德国一项随机对照试验的基线数据（n = 535），该试验检验了 PT-W 的疗效。工作条件由经过验证的哥本哈根社会心理问卷（COPSOQ）的六个量表进行评估。自我效能感则通过经过验证的通用简易职业自我效能感量表（OSE）和重返工作岗位自我效能感量表（RTW-SE）这两种特定形式的自我效能感进行评估。以工作条件为自变量，自我效能感为因变量，计算出多元线性回归模型。这些模型还加入了工作条件与年龄、性别和当前工作程度之间的交互作用：结果表明，定量工作要求与 OSE 和 RTW-SE 负相关，而发展机会与 OSE 和 RTW-SE 正相关。年龄并没有调节这些关系。表示工作时数少于合同规定时数的员工与表示工作满合同规定时数的员工相比，发展机会与 OSE 之间的关系更为密切。此外，还发现了与性别的交互作用，即社会支持仅与男性员工的 OSE 呈（正）相关，而决策权仅与女性员工的 OSE 呈（正）相关：结论：工作条件与工作特定 SE 之间的关联证明，在 PT-W 期间处理这两个变量之间的潜在互惠关系对于改善员工的心理健康非常有用：德国临床试验注册中心（DRKS）注册号：01.03.2021-DRKS00023049。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers on the rehabilitation, reintegration, and prevention of disability in workers. The journal offers investigations involving original data collection and research synthesis (i.e., scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses). Papers derive from a broad array of fields including rehabilitation medicine, physical and occupational therapy, health psychology and psychiatry, orthopedics, oncology, occupational and insurance medicine, neurology, social work, ergonomics, biomedical engineering, health economics, rehabilitation engineering, business administration and management, and law. A single interdisciplinary source for information on work disability rehabilitation, the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation helps to advance the scientific understanding, management, and prevention of work disability.
