Abstract

Background: The frequent encounters of seafarers with people from different countries compared to other occupations increase their risk of contracting different variants of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This risk may cause additional anxiety for them. The main purpose of this research is to determine the mediating role of COVID-19 burnout and intention to quit in the impact of seafarers' anxiety about contracting COVID-19 on work stress.

Materials and methods: The research is a quantitative correlational research design cross-sectional study. We determined the research data according to the random sampling technique. Participants consist of 390 maritime business employees operating in Istanbul and Izmir. We determined the participants based on voluntary participation. We collected the data with the help of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, COVID-19 Burnout Scale, Intention to Quit Scale, and Work Stress Perception Scale.

Results: The study found that seafarers' anxiety about contracting the novel coronavirus positively influences their perception of job stress and that COVID-19 burnout and intention to quit strongly mediate this interaction. We also determined that seafarers had a high level of COVID-19 anxiety, leading to a higher perception of COVID-19 burnout.

Conclusions: These findings mean that although personal factors are important, negative psychological perceptions feed off each other and cause another psychological perception. The research results need to be strengthened by psychological factors such as job satisfaction, organizational trust and organizational support, and their psychological resilience should be increased so that seafarers do not show COVID-19 anxiety due to job stress and intention to quit.

COVID-19焦虑对海员工作压力的影响:COVID-19倦怠和辞职意向的中介作用
背景:与其他职业相比,海员与来自不同国家的人的频繁接触增加了他们感染2019年不同类型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的风险。这种风险可能会给他们带来额外的焦虑。本研究的主要目的是确定COVID-19倦怠和辞职意愿在海员感染COVID-19焦虑对工作压力的影响中的中介作用。材料与方法:本研究为定量相关研究设计横断面研究。我们采用随机抽样的方法确定研究数据。参与者包括在伊斯坦布尔和伊兹密尔经营的390名海事企业雇员。我们在自愿参与的基础上确定了参与者。我们使用冠状病毒焦虑量表、COVID-19倦怠量表、戒烟意图量表和工作压力感知量表收集数据。结果:研究发现,海员对感染新型冠状病毒的焦虑对他们对工作压力的感知产生了积极影响,COVID-19倦怠和辞职意愿强烈地调节了这种相互作用。我们还确定,海员对COVID-19的焦虑程度很高,导致他们对COVID-19的倦怠感更高。结论:这些发现表明,虽然个人因素很重要,但消极的心理感知是相互影响的,并导致另一种心理感知。研究结果需要在工作满意度、组织信任、组织支持等心理因素的基础上得到加强,提高海员的心理弹性,使其不因工作压力和离职意向而表现出新冠肺炎焦虑。
