Abstract

ABSTRACT To date, there is a paucity of research on team-level impacts on the individual stress appraisal process despite the recognised role of teams for solving problems. Applying a multilevel approach, this study investigates the cross-level impact of team problem prevention behaviours on employee stress appraisals of problem-solving demands. It was hypothesised that team problem prevention would moderate the individual-level relationship between problem-solving demands and stress appraisals. Data were collected from 43 work teams comprised of 192 team members including all team leaders who also provided evaluations of their team’s problem prevention behaviour. Results supported the hypothesised cross-level moderating effects on challenge appraisal, but not threat appraisal. As one of the first studies to demonstrate that stress appraisals are impacted by the group, not just by individual factors, the results support a multilevel conceptualisation of stress appraisals. The findings also highlight implications for practice, broadening the scope of possibilities for stress management interventions to utilise team-level strategies such as leadership development programmes and/or team building initiatives.

同伴、主动性和问题解决:团队对问题解决需求压力评估影响的多层次研究
摘要迄今为止,尽管团队在解决问题方面发挥着公认的作用,但关于团队层面对个人压力评估过程的影响的研究却很少。本研究采用多层次方法,调查了团队问题预防行为对员工解决问题需求的压力评估的跨层次影响。假设团队问题预防会缓和解决问题需求和压力评估之间的个人层面关系。数据来自43个工作小组,由192名小组成员组成,其中包括所有小组组长,他们还对小组的问题预防行为进行了评估。结果支持了对挑战评估的跨层面调节作用,但不支持威胁评估。作为第一批证明压力评估受群体影响而不仅仅受个人因素影响的研究之一,研究结果支持压力评估的多层次概念化。研究结果还强调了对实践的影响,扩大了压力管理干预的可能性范围,以利用团队层面的战略,如领导力发展计划和/或团队建设举措。

期刊介绍: Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
