Abstract

ABSTRACT Our study examined construct validity evidence for a measure of perceptions of Stress as a Badge of Honour, consisting of four dimensions: stress as achievement, relaxation remorse, stress-related social comparison, and stress-related impression management. A pilot study among college students (Study 1; N = 120) informed the initial development of the measure, which was further tested in two worker samples recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). The results of Study 2 (N = 248) supported a four-factor structure of the measure. Study 3 utilised data collected at two time points (Matched N = 752), assessing stress badge perceptions, convergent and discriminant validity measures (Time 1), and measures of health, well-being, and performance (Time 2). The four subscales were related to, but unique from, convergent validity measures (e.g. workaholism, perfectionism) and were not highly related to discriminant validity measures (i.e. social desirability, positive and negative affect). The stress badge perceptions demonstrated some positive relationships with job performance, but predominantly negative relationships with psychological and physical health, and work-family conflict. Our findings expand our understanding of the dark side of viewing high stress in a laudatory manner by introducing a novel measure and can inform interventions to promote optimal views of stress.

压力是荣誉的象征：与表现、健康和幸福的关系

摘要:本研究考察了将压力视为荣誉勋章的概念的结构效度证据，包括四个维度:压力作为成就、放松自责、压力相关的社会比较和压力相关的印象管理。大学生试点研究(研究1;N = 120)为该措施的初步发展提供了信息，并在亚马逊土耳其机器人(MTurk)招募的两名工人样本中进行了进一步测试。研究2 (N = 248)的结果支持该测量的四因素结构。研究3使用了在两个时间点收集的数据(匹配N = 752)，评估了压力徽章感知、收敛效度和判别效度测量(时间1)以及健康、幸福和绩效测量(时间2)。这四个子量表与收敛效度测量(如工作狂、完美主义)相关，但又独特，与判别效度测量(如社会期望、积极和消极影响)不高度相关。压力徽章感知与工作绩效呈正相关，但与身心健康和工作家庭冲突呈负相关。我们的研究结果通过引入一种新的测量方法，扩大了我们对以赞美的方式看待高压力的黑暗面的理解，并可以为干预措施提供信息，以促进对压力的最佳看法。

期刊介绍： Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
