Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of billions around the globe. Yet, our understanding of its impact on psychological distress and work productivity remains limited. Using data from two waves of the Understanding Society COVID-19 study, a representative British survey of reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, comprising 5829 individuals, we find that perceived health risks related to COVID-19 affect the productivity of working individuals negatively via increased psychological distress. Results also show that the extent of homeworking amplifies the negative relationship between psychological distress and productivity. Additionally, we find that the negative relationship between psychological distress and productivity is stronger for self-employed individuals compared to those who are in paid employment. Psychological distress, self-employment status and gender jointly interact in reducing productivity, such that self-employed women experience the strongest decline in productivity. We discuss the implications of our findings in light of supporting individuals to reduce psychological distress and maintain their productivity following the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID - 19相关的健康风险、心理困扰和感知生产力
COVID-19 大流行影响了全球数十亿人的生活。然而,我们对其对心理困扰和工作效率的影响的了解仍然有限。了解社会 COVID-19 研究是英国一项针对 COVID-19 大流行病反应的代表性调查,共有 5829 人参与,我们利用两次调查的数据发现,与 COVID-19 相关的健康风险会通过增加心理困扰对工作人士的工作效率产生负面影响。结果还显示,在家工作的程度会放大心理压力与工作效率之间的负面关系。此外,我们还发现,与从事有偿工作的人相比,自营职业者的心理困扰与生产率之间的负相关关系更强。心理困扰、自雇身份和性别共同作用降低了生产率,其中自雇女性的生产率下降幅度最大。我们讨论了我们的研究结果对支持个人在 COVID-19 大流行后减少心理困扰和保持生产力的意义。
