Individual and contextual correlates of managers' attitudes toward depressed employees
研究调查了管理者对抑郁员工的态度,发现内控倾向、高压力、对抑郁不熟悉、不愿求助的管理者态度更负面,而组织有明确心理健康策略则减少污名化。
Abstract Managers' attitudes toward depressed employees play an important role in effectively managing depression in the workplace. The present study pilot tested a survey measure of managers' attitudes toward depressed employees ( n =225). Exploratory factor analysis showed evidence of cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions in the measure of attitudes. Regression analyses examined relationships between the measure and a range of proposed individual and contextual correlates. Results showed that more negative attitudes toward depressed employees were endorsed by managers who reported a more internal locus of control, higher levels of stress, less familiarity with depression, and greater reticence to seek help. Managers who perceived their organizations to have unsupportive depression disclosure norms reported higher levels of stigma, and those whose organizations had a clear mental health strategy reported lower levels of stigma. The findings have important implications for developing human resource management strategies that deal with the increasing incidence and impact of depression in the workplace. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
