Abstract

We explored the role of perceived coronavirus disease (COVID-19) threats and people's sustainment of primary (e.g., personal hygiene) and secondary (e.g., exercising) routines for two indicators of individual functioning at work, that is, job satisfaction and work concentration. We conducted an online questionnaire study with Hong Kong and German employees (N = 576). Using Structural Equation Modeling, we found support for secondary daily routines to be positively associated with job satisfaction and work concentration. In contrast, threats from the COVID-19 pandemic did not show negative associations with work outcomes. But economic threats were negatively associated with secondary routines, and had an indirect (negative) effect on job satisfaction mediated by these routines. A deeper look into the specific secondary activities revealed that sustaining exercising routines (e.g., regularly taking a walk) was particularly relevant. Our results might be used for designing programs to support people in sticking or returning to beneficial everyday activities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

在大流行时期专注于工作并对工作感到满意:日常事务的力量。

我们探讨了感知冠状病毒疾病（新冠肺炎）威胁的作用，以及人们对个人工作功能的两个指标（即工作满意度和工作集中度）的主要（如个人卫生）和次要（如锻炼）日常生活的维持。我们对香港和德国员工（N=576）进行了在线问卷调查。使用结构方程建模，我们发现辅助日常生活与工作满意度和工作专注度呈正相关。相比之下，新冠肺炎大流行的威胁与工作结果没有显示出负面关联。但经济威胁与次要日常生活负相关，并对这些日常生活所介导的工作满意度产生间接（负面）影响。对特定的次要活动进行更深入的研究表明，维持日常锻炼（如定期散步）尤其重要。我们的研究结果可能用于设计支持人们坚持或恢复有益的日常活动的程序。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）
