Abstract

Extreme work environments are inherently stressful and involve challenging working and living conditions. In contexts ranging from space exploration to disaster response, people must sustain performance under pressure, and function with limited resources. In this paper we develop the concept of endurance for extreme work environments, which we define as the capacity to sustain performance at high levels for safe and effective operations over extended durations (e.g., a mission, operation, deployment, or expedition). We integrate diverse streams of literature (e.g., work stress, recovery, and sleep) to describe endurance in terms of short- and long-term energy management processes as individuals interact with their work-life system (i.e. work, non-work, and sleep environment). We conclude with theoretical and practical implications for a better understanding of endurance, such as considering multiple time perspectives, and the role that researchers, practitioners, and organizations can play in optimizing endurance in the field.

在极端工作环境下的耐力

极端的工作环境本身就有压力，包括具有挑战性的工作和生活条件。在从空间探索到灾害应对的各种情况下，人们必须在压力下保持表现，并在有限的资源下发挥作用。在本文中，我们发展了极端工作环境的耐力概念，我们将其定义为在较长时间内(例如，任务，操作，部署或探险)维持高水平安全和有效操作的能力。我们整合了不同的文献流(例如，工作压力，恢复和睡眠)，以描述个人与工作-生活系统(即工作，非工作和睡眠环境)相互作用时的短期和长期能量管理过程中的耐力。我们总结了更好地理解耐力的理论和实践意义，例如考虑多个时间视角，以及研究人员，从业者和组织在优化领域耐力方面可以发挥的作用。

期刊介绍： Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology. Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.
