Abstract

Employee recovery during non-work hours benefits health in a variety of areas. However, little research has evaluated how recovery may be affected by perceptions of income (in)adequacy. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships among workers' perceived income adequacy (PIA), relaxation remorse, recovery experiences outside of work, and health outcomes. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling with data obtained from a two-wave, time-lagged survey of Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers (N = 683). We found a positive relationship between PIA and recovery, which were both related to better health. PIA was negatively related to relaxation remorse, with relaxation remorse being associated with poor health. There was evidence of indirect relationships via relaxation remorse, where relaxation remorse explained portions of the relationships between PIA and health symptoms. Indirect relationships via recovery experiences were largely unsupported. Our findings expand our understanding of employee recovery as it relates to perceptions of income. Specifically, our studies highlight that one's perceived income adequacy may be an important contributor to comfort with and/or actual experienced recovery, which can have further health effects.

我能负担得起放松:将感知到的收入充足性与恢复和健康联系起来。
雇员在非工作时间的恢复在许多方面都有益于健康。然而,很少有研究评估收入充分性如何影响经济复苏。摘要本研究旨在探讨员工的收入充分性(PIA)、放松自责、工作之外的恢复体验与健康结果之间的关系。使用结构方程模型对假设进行检验,数据来自对亚马逊土耳其机械(MTurk)工人(N = 683)的两波滞后调查。我们发现PIA与康复呈正相关,这两者都与更好的健康有关。PIA与放松自责负相关,放松自责与健康状况不佳有关。有证据表明,通过放松自责存在间接关系,其中放松自责解释了PIA与健康症状之间的部分关系。通过康复经历建立的间接关系在很大程度上没有得到支持。我们的发现扩展了我们对员工恢复的理解,因为它与收入观念有关。具体来说,我们的研究强调,一个人的感知收入充足可能是对舒适和/或实际经历恢复的重要贡献者,这可能对健康有进一步的影响。
