摘要

本研究从社会认同的角度表明,在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,将职业和劳动力市场部门划分为必要和非必要,对被划分为非必要工人的职业认同产生了负面影响。我们假设,在大流行期间,非必要工作者的专业识别度(PI)较必要工作者低;探讨这是否部分是由于强制性的在家工作和工作时间的减少;(非)基本分类对PI的影响是否会出现性别差异;以及在大流行期间,较低的PI是否会与工作效率和绩效产生负面关系。基于在两波COVID-19感染高峰和国家封锁期间在荷兰工作人口中抽样的三个数据集的经验证据(2020年5月/ 6月;研究1:N = 371;2020年11月/ 12月,研究2:N = 467;研究3 = 735)证实非必要工人的PI相对于必要工人更低。在第一个峰值波(研究1),非必要工人的低PI部分解释为减少工作时间在家。随着大流行的持续(第二波高峰;研究2和3),性别差异出现了,被归类为非必要的女性比男性有更多的负面影响。非必要员工较低的PI水平与较低的工作效率和绩效有关。这些发现强调了在大流行期间了解社会认同过程的重要性。我们讨论了控制健康危机的政府法规的社会心理学后果,因为这些法规可能会无意中破坏社会中一半以上的工作人口的职业身份。

The Psychological Threat of Being Declared Nonessential During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Effects on Professional Identification

The Psychological Threat of Being Declared Nonessential During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Effects on Professional Identification

This research applies a social identity lens to show that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the classification of occupations and labor market sectors as essential versus nonessential negatively affected the professional identity of those categorized as nonessential workers. We hypothesized that nonessential workers would report lower professional identification (PI) during the pandemic relative to essential workers; explored whether this was partially due to mandatory shifts to working from home and working fewer hours; whether gender differences would emerge in the impact of (non)essential categorization on PI; and if lower PI would negatively relate to work productivity and performance during the pandemic. Empirical evidence based on three datasets sampled among the Dutch working population during two peak waves of COVID-19 infections and national lockdowns (May/June 2020; Study 1: N = 371; November/December 2020, Study 2: N = 467; Study 3 = 735) confirmed nonessential workers' lower PI relative to essential workers. During the first peak wave (Study 1), nonessential workers' lower PI was partially explained by being home-bound by reduced work hours. As the pandemic continued (second peak wave; Studies 2 and 3), gender differences emerged, with more negative consequences of being classified as nonessential for women than men. Nonessential workers' lower PI levels were associated with lower work productivity and performance. These findings underscore the importance of understanding social identity processes during the pandemic. We discuss the sociopsychological ramifications of government regulations to control health crises, given how these may inadvertently undermine the professional identity of over half a working population in society.
