“…Nevertheless, many believe that job conditions are important risk or protective factors associated with using drugs on the job. Theoretical contributions have emphasized various characteristics of the work environment as influences on drug use of employees, including organizational frustration and job stress (Milbourn, 1984); distancing forces, attractions, and constraints (Gupta & Jenkins, 1984); norms regarding drug use of coworkers and the occupation (Shore, 1986); and the drug use “enabling” aspects of the work environment (Ames, 1990; Roman, Blum, & Martin, 1992).…”

Using prospective data from a community sample assessed in young adulthood and again 4 years later, both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses evaluated associations among multiple measures of intoxication in the workplace, job instability and satisfaction, and social conformity. Being high on the job was more prevalent, frequent, and stable over time for men than women, although rates decreased for both genders with age. Measures of social conformity were most related to drug use on the job within time but had few unique effects over time. Only a few earlier work characteristics (but no personal traits) affected later intoxication on the job. Several significant interactions were found between personal and job variables that predicted increased intoxication in the workplace. Earlier intoxication on the job increased later measures of job instability.

“…A general, somewhat unspecific relationship exists between a worker's basic poor well-being dimensions and pathological outcomes: either affective (Lacoursiere, 2001;Tse, Flin, & Mearns, 2006), somatic (Gilbert, 2000;Harma & Ilmarinen, 1999;Singh-Manoux et al, 2006), organizational (Haslam, 2004;Milbourn, 1984), behavioral (Vallance, Dunn, & Dunn, 2006), or temporal (Blewett, 1992;Haslam, 2004). This can reflect an overlapping of experiences or simply a background experience.…”

“…Other results (Hoffmann & Larison, 1999;Martı ´n, Blum, & Roman, 1992;Milbourn, 1984;Moore & Greenberg, 2000) show that poor organizational, social, and temporal dimensions point to a difficult, hard, or intolerable work experience, accompanied by a subjective perception of endless time and are associated to alcohol and drug consumption as outlets. The same reasons mentioned above apply to our PEWB elements in the next hypothesis.…”

This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between poor employee well-being (PEWB) and work-related mental ill-health and substance consumption (MIH). It is proposed as a unification model that links both work-related negative consequences on the basis of the experiences of threat, loss, and frustration at work. PEWB contains the following elements: emotional discomfort, bodily uneasiness, organizational distance, task impairment, and dragging workday; and MIH includes work-related anxiety, depression, irritability, cigarette smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, and physical illness. Six hundred ninety-seven participants, working in a wide range of jobs and occupations, completed the survey. Results indicated that PEWB and MIH are significantly associated, after controlling for demographic and personal factors. Sense sharing between PEWB-MIH and PEWB element combination explained the relationships between both constructs. These findings could be helpful for organizations interested in preserving and improving worker mental health.
