“…Second, existing research mainly focused on examining the relationship between MW and burnout at a construct level ( via sum scores). This may ignore the unique relationships among different components of MW and burnout ( 30 , 31 ). Using network analysis may contribute to existing knowledge by elucidating the relationship between MW and burnout at a component level.…”

BackgroundAlthough poor mental well-being (MW) has been documented among individuals experiencing burnout during the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, little is known about the complex interrelationship between different components of MW and burnout. This study investigates this relationship among medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic through network analysis.MethodsA total of 420 medical staff were recruited for this study. Components of MW were measured by the 14-item Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS), and components of burnout were measured by a 15-item Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) Questionnaire. Network structure was constructed via network analysis. Bridge variables were identified via the bridge centrality index.ResultsThe edges across two communities (i.e., MW community and burnout community) are almost negative, such as edge MW2 (“Useful”) – B14 (“Worthwhile”) and edge MW1 (“Optimistic about future”) – B13 (“Happy”). The edges within each community are nearly positive. In the MW community, components MW1 (“Optimistic about future”) and MW6 (“Dealing with problems”) have the lowest bridge centrality. And in the community of burnout, components B13 (“Happy”) and B14 (“Worthwhile”) have the lowest bridge expected influence.ConclusionWe present the first study to apply the network approach to model the potential pathways between distinct components of MW and burnout. Our findings suggest that promoting optimistic attitudes and problem-solving skills may help reduce burnout among medical staff during the pandemic.

Resilience as an outcome can be viewed as trajectory of stable good mental health or the quick regain of mental health during or after stressor exposure. Resilience factors (RFs) are psychological resources that buffer the potential negative effects of stress on mental health. A problem of resilience research is the large number of conceptually overlapping RFs complicating their understanding as well as the planning and evaluation of resilience interventions. The current study sheds light on interrelations of RFs in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic as a use case for major disruptions. The prospective study assessed a population sample of 1,275 German-speaking people (Mage=50.06, 51.5% female) from February 2020 to March 2021 at six critical timepoints during the pandemic. We assessed coping, hardiness, control beliefs, optimism, self-efficacy, sense of coherence (SOC), sense of mastery, social support as well as dispositional resilience as psychological RFs in February 2020, and mental health (i.e., psychopathological symptoms, COVID-19-related rumination, stress-related growth) at all timepoints. Analyses used partial correlation network models and LASSO regressions. Pre-pandemic RFs were strongly interrelated with SOC being the most central node. During the pandemic, networks for all outcomes remained stable. Pre-pandemic SOC was the strongest partial correlate of psychopathological symptoms and COVID-19-related rumination, while stress-related growth showed unique associations with positive reframing and optimism. LASSO regressions supported SOC’s incremental validity beyond other RFs for psychopathological symptoms and COVID-19-related rumination, while SOC was unrelated to stress-related growth. Either longitudinally or cross-sectionally, the sum of RFs at most accounted for 39% of the variance in mental health. Our findings provide evidence for SOC playing an important role for mental health and suggest to further examine SOC’s incremental validity. Given the differential associations for negative and positive mental health outcomes, resilience research may benefit from using multidimensional outcomes.

“…Work stress caused by high demand-low control tasks influences the wellbeing of employees ( Heyeon et al, 2019 ; Kern et al, 2020 ). Work stress from job precautious affects health-related quality of life ( Bhattacharya and Ray, 2021 ), and workplace-related stress can be detrimental to employees’ mental health ( Dunnette, 1992 ; Wan et al, 2020 ; Bogaerts et al, 2021 ). Work stress has a long history of influencing the occupational health of employees, and scientific intervention strategies need to be developed in order to combat this issue ( Roozeboom et al, 2020 ).…”

Work adaptability refers to the work experience, habits, and skills that enable an individual to adapt to current or changing work tasks and situations. It is a coping resource that individuals use to mitigate various types of stress. Adopting the interaction model of work stress, this study investigated 168 young employees in 20 organizations in Zhejiang Province through interview research and a questionnaire survey. The results show that work adaptability has a significant main effect on occupational health. The work adaptability of employees plays a moderating role in the relationship between occupational health and lack of work meaning stress, role conflict stress, interpersonal relationship stress, negative organizational atmosphere stress, and total score of work stressors. Young employees with high work adaptability have worse occupational health under high-level stress situations due to a lack of work meaning. For promoting occupational health in young employees, organizations should have this group of workers complete meaningful jobs or inform them of the importance of their jobs, reduce role conflict, and create a supportive organizational atmosphere. For management, it is imperative to eliminate high-level stress that stems from a lack of work meaning in order to retain young employees with high work adaptability. These findings shed light on how work adaptability helps young employees deal with stress and improve their occupational health. In organizational and self-stress management, it is beneficial to improve employees’ work adaptability continuously as a means of effectively resisting stress and maintaining occupational health.
