Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to examine the effect of a newly developed Internet-delivered behavioral activation (iBA) program on work engagement and well-being among Japanese workers with elevated psychological distress.

Methods: Participants were recruited via an Internet survey company ( N = 3299). The eligibility criteria were as follows: (1) Japanese employees aged 20 to 59 years, (2) having psychological distress, and (3) not self-employed. This iBA program was a 3-week web-based training course using behavioral activation techniques. Work engagement, psychological distress, and eudemonic well-being at work were measured at baseline and postintervention period. A paired sample t test was conducted to assess the intervention effect.

Results: Of the 568 eligible participants, 120 were randomly selected. A total of 108 participants completed the baseline survey and received the iBA program. Eighty respondents completed the postintervention survey and were included in analyses. The iBA program did not show a significant intervention effect on work engagement ( P = 0.22, Cohen d = 0.14), while psychological distress ( P < 0.01, d = -0.40) and role-oriented future prospects ( P = 0.02, Cohen d = 0.27) were significantly improved.

Conclusions: The effect of the iBA program on work engagement may be limited.

互联网提供的行为激活程序对提高日本工人工作参与度的影响：一项测试前和测试后研究。

目的：本研究旨在检验一项新开发的互联网行为激活（iBA）计划对心理困扰加剧的日本工人的工作参与度和幸福感的影响。方法：参与者通过互联网调查公司招募（N=3299）。资格标准如下：（1）20至59岁的日本雇员，（2）有心理困扰，（3）非自营职业者。这个iBA项目是一个为期3周的基于网络的培训课程，使用行为激活技术。在基线和干预后测量工作投入、心理困扰和工作中的幸福感。进行配对样本t检验以评估干预效果。结果：在568名符合条件的参与者中，120人是随机选择的。共有108名参与者完成了基线调查并接受了iBA计划。80名受访者完成了干预后的调查，并被纳入分析。iBA计划对工作投入没有显示出显著的干预效果（P=0.22，Cohen d=0.14），而心理困扰（P<0.01，d=-0.40）和角色导向的未来前景（P=0.02，Cohen d=0.27）得到了显著改善。结论：iBA计划对工作参与度的影响可能是有限的。
