Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the COVID-19 infection prevention measures that are at risk of being perceived by employees as mistreatment in the workplace.

Methods: This study included full-time workers who enrolled as subjects in a nationwide prospective cohort study. Baseline surveys performed during the pandemic were used to identify the workplace measures against COVID-19. A tracing survey was conducted 1 year later to assess workplace mistreatment.

Results: Of the 18,170 participants, 276 judged that they had experienced mistreatment by the measures. "Enforcing daily temperature measurement" and "stopping business trips" were associated with mistreatment. Meanwhile, "requesting that employees refrain from going to work when ill" and "restricting work-related social gatherings and entertainment" had the potential to reduce workplace mistreatment.

Conclusions: Certain measures against COVID-19 can reduce or increase the burden on employees.

日本员工应对新冠肺炎和工作场所虐待的工作场所措施：一项为期1年的前瞻性队列研究。

目的：本研究旨在确定新冠肺炎感染预防措施，这些措施有可能被员工视为工作场所的虐待。方法：本研究纳入了一项全国性前瞻性队列研究的全职工作者。在大流行期间进行的基线调查用于确定工作场所针对新冠肺炎的措施。一年后进行了一项追踪调查，以评估工作场所的虐待行为。结果：在18170名参与者中，276人认为他们受到了这些措施的虐待。“强制每天测量体温”和“停止出差”与虐待有关。与此同时，“要求员工生病时不要上班”和“限制与工作相关的社交聚会和娱乐”有可能减少工作场所的虐待。结论：针对新冠肺炎的某些措施可以减轻或增加员工的负担。
