Using a person-centred approach, we examined how these changes cluster together, defining the experiences of different employee sub-groups. We then compared these groups regarding their background characteristics and selected aspects of occupational well-being (i.e., job satisfaction, job insecurity, turnover intention, work engagement, and exhaustion).\u0000A sample of professionally active adults (N = 600; 55% women) completed a baseline cross-sectional survey, while a subsample (n = 426) further responded to brief daily questionnaires, reporting their job satisfaction, engagement, and exhaustion over a course of five workdays.\u0000Results suggested three different patterns (i.e., latent classes) of pandemic-related changes at work. They characterized workers who experienced a strong decline in their workload and income (‘precarious’), those who experienced an increase in workload and a change in the quality of working conditions (‘challenged’), and those whose work situation was mostly unaffected (‘status quo’). These worker groups differed regarding their personal and professional background as well as occupational well-being outcomes. Those more strongly affected by the pandemic (the challenged or precarious pattern) were more likely to show initial background vulnerabilities, while those in the status quo group were more likely to benefit from working from home and reported the least detrimental outcomes. We discuss the implications of these findings within the conservation of resources and career sustainability frameworks.","PeriodicalId":164739,"journal":{"name":"Swiss Psychology Open","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128331667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although mental health is a prominent topic, it is difficult to estimate the efforts of Swiss sports federations to promote mental health. A representative sample of Swiss athletes (N = 1003, M age = 21.69, SD age = 7.09, 54% women, 37% team sports, 10% injured) answered questions about symptoms of mental health problems and their well-being. We also asked about the extent of basic need satisfaction and perceived organizational support. Overall, the numbers on symptoms of mental health problems (17% depression, 10% anxiety, 22% eating disorders, 18% sleep disorders) and well-being are comparable to other elite sport samples and the general Swiss population. However, we found large group differences. For example, 52% of women athletes were affected by at least one mental disorder symptom, compared with 30% of men athletes. Injured athletes were most affected in terms of depressive symptoms. The study also shows that need satisfaction and frustration in conjunction with demographic factors is related to well-being and symptoms of mental health problems. Furthermore, the more support athletes perceive from their federations, the better their mental health. We conclude that a substantial proportion of athletes are affected by symptoms of mental disorders and more measures are needed to improve this situation, for example through supporting need satisfaction in the sport setting.","PeriodicalId":164739,"journal":{"name":"Swiss Psychology Open","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116081129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an extraordinary, unforeseeable, and uncontrollable event, it qualifies as a career shock. Since young people early in their careers were in crucial stages of their development at the time social distancing started, they specifically suffered. According to Conservation of Resources Theory (COR Theory), individuals with higher resources are less affected by challenges. Resilience and social support are important during crises, as they help in dealing with setbacks. Our study followed a group of German bachelor students (N = 797) at three time points: in January 2020, during the first period of social distancing in April, and afterwards in June 2020. We assume that individuals with high resilience and support network quality have fewer thoughts about their career as consequence of the pandemic and thus cope better and stay confident in their vocational choice. Findings reveal that especially resilience influences the thought process triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic: more resilient students also think less about their career as a consequence of the pandemic. Furthermore, at the same measurement point, those thought processes influenced the confidence in vocational choice negatively. These results, aligning with COR Theory, underline the importance of resources in dealing with career shocks. Furthermore, they show that those thought processes have a direct influence on confidence in vocational choice, possibly influencing individuals’ career paths. Since both resilience and social networks can be influenced, we recommend different measures for universities, students, and society in coping with the aftermath of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":164739,"journal":{"name":"Swiss Psychology Open","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135596240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
