Precarity and resource depletion in aviation: Job insecurity and workplace health and safety hazards
研究英国空乘人员的工作不安全感、工作需求加剧和职场虐待如何通过资源耗竭导致倦怠,发现管理支持能缓解不安全感与虐待的关系,而同伴支持作用有限。
This study investigates job insecurity, intensifying work demands and workplace mistreatment as psychosocial hazards contributing to burnout among UK cabin crew within aviation’s neoliberal employment regime. We used Conservation of Resources theory to examine the pathways to burnout. Path modelling of survey data from 972 cabin crew reveals job insecurity indirectly increases burnout via heightened demands and greater exposure to bullying and harassment. Managerial support buffers the insecurity–mistreatment relationship; peer support provides minimal protection. The results extend theory by linking resource loss processes to labour market institutions and emphasize the need for renewed union engagement in occupational health and safety.
