Abstract

ABSTRACT We conducted 3 studies to investigate how poor quality sleep relates to work injuries. First, using a sample of employed people living in the United Kingdom (N = 4,238; Study 1), we found that poor quality sleep was related to more frequent workplace injuries via negative affect rather than cognitive failures. Second, we again compared parallel pathways using a sample of USA employees (N = 202; Study 2): poor quality sleep was related to more frequent work injuries via work-related negative affect but not work-related cognitive failures. Third, we used a 2-wave sample of employees from the United Kingdom (N = 71; Study 3) finding that poor quality sleep was related to more frequent work injuries 7 weeks later via negative affect. Comparing high arousal and low arousal negative affect as competing pathways showed that there was a significant indirect effect of the former on the poor quality sleep-work injuries relationship but not the latter. Across 3 studies, we implicated the role of self-control failure stemming from poor quality sleep in predicting more frequent work injuries and suggested initiatives targeting high arousal negative affect as a way of reducing work injuries.

疲劳、紧张和受伤：负面影响对睡眠质量差和工伤关系的间接影响

摘要：我们进行了3项研究来调查睡眠质量差与工伤的关系。首先，使用居住在英国的就业人员样本（N = 4238；研究1），我们发现睡眠质量差与更频繁的工作场所伤害有关，这是通过负面影响，而不是认知失误。其次，我们再次使用美国员工样本（N = 202；研究2）：睡眠质量差通过工作相关的负面影响与更频繁的工伤有关，但与工作相关的认知失败无关。第三，我们使用了来自英国（N = 71；研究3）发现，睡眠质量差与7周后通过负面影响更频繁的工伤有关。将高唤醒和低唤醒负效应作为竞争途径进行比较表明，前者对低质量睡眠-工伤关系有显著的间接影响，但后者没有。在3项研究中，我们暗示了睡眠质量差导致的自我控制失败在预测更频繁的工伤中的作用，并提出了针对高唤醒负面影响的举措，以减少工伤。

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.
