Abstract

PurposeThe authors tested whether the effect of alcohol consumption during work hours on workplace aggression was influenced by the combined impact of individuals' job insecurity and love of the job.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed a time-lagged design whereby 325 working adults (166 men; 159 women) provided data at two time points. Respondents were asked to report their typical alcohol consumption volume in a workday, the extent to which they loved their job, and how insecure they felt about their job. Approximately one week later, respondents completed a workplace aggression measure.FindingsA substantial positive relationship was observed between the volume of alcohol consumed during work hours and the likelihood of aggressive acts. Beyond this preliminary finding, the authors found evidence for a three-way interaction. It appears that the fear of losing a beloved job creates a condition under which the drinking-aggression relationship is particularly strong.Practical implicationsBesides formal rules deterring alcohol consumption during work hours, managers may look to implement measures that nurture a sense of job love and job security, which can be beneficial in preventing aggression resulting from drinking in the workplace.Originality/valueBy examining alcohol consumption during a typical workday, the study captures the contextual and proximal effects of drinking, which are often not observed in workplace-focused studies that operationalize alcohol consumption in general terms. The findings also suggest that if employees who drink during work hours are afraid of losing the job they love, a particularly stressful situation is created in which workplace aggression is more likely to happen.
饮酒对职场攻击性的影响:爱(和工作不安全感)与之有什么关系?
目的作者测试了工作时间饮酒对工作场所攻击性的影响是否受到个人工作不安全感和热爱工作的综合影响。设计/方法/方法作者采用了时间滞后设计,325名在职成年人(166名男性;159名女性)在两个时间点提供了数据。受访者被要求报告他们一个工作日的典型饮酒量,他们热爱工作的程度,以及他们对工作的不安全感。大约一周后,受访者完成了一项工作场所攻击性测量。发现工作时间饮酒量与攻击行为的可能性之间存在显著的正相关关系。除了这一初步发现之外,作者还发现了三方相互作用的证据。看起来,对失去一份心爱的工作的恐惧创造了一种条件,在这种条件下,饮酒攻击关系特别强烈。实际含义除了阻止工作时间饮酒的正式规定外,管理者还可以采取措施培养对工作的热爱和工作安全感,这有助于防止工作场所饮酒引起的攻击。独创性/价值通过检查典型工作日的饮酒情况,该研究捕捉到了饮酒的背景和近端影响,而在以工作场所为重点的研究中,通常没有观察到这一点,这些研究从总体上操作了饮酒。研究结果还表明,如果在工作时间喝酒的员工害怕失去他们热爱的工作,就会产生一种压力特别大的情况,在这种情况下,工作场所更有可能发生攻击性行为。
