“…Job-specific individual performance is also called work performance. Non-job-specific individual performance is also denoted as commitment performance or extra-role performance and includes, for example, demonstrating effort (see also Aguinis & Kraiger, 2009;Blume et al, 2010), efficacy, and emotional responses (Baumann, Gohm, & Bonner, 2011) and facilitating either peer and team performance or an improved social network (Van den Bossche & Segers, 2013). Individual performance might subsequently transfer into improved organisational performance (stage 4).…”

The transfer of training can be considered the Achilles heel of the training process. When trainees fail to use their new knowledge and skills on the job, training resources are wasted, and business results go unrealised. Research shows that the most problematic type of training transfer relates to soft skills training. To better understand the factors that influence the success of the transfer of soft skills training, we review studies published in top academic journals between 1988 and 2017. Our review reveals that three groups of work factors influence the post-training transfer of soft skills: job-related factors, social support factors, and factors related to the organisational facilitation of learning. The effects of specific factors vary by transfer stage. Our review also suggests that future research should devote more attention to the stages of transfer and consider both the behaviours of supervisors at each stage and the use of transfer-enhancing interventions.

“…Here, stressors could be introduced during task training with the stress levels gradually increasing during a training session, or over a series of sessions, to promote control of the individual’s threat appraisal (Fornette et al, 2012; Johnston & Cannon-Bowers, 1996). A single session may be sufficient for stress response improvement (Baumann, Gohm, & Bonner, 2011), although multiple sessions may be better at fostering confidence in preparation for realistic stress levels.…”

Psychological and physiological stress experienced by astronauts can pose risks to mission success. In clinical settings, gradually increasing stressors help patients develop resilience. It is unclear whether graduated stress exposure can affect responses to acute stressors during spaceflight. This study evaluated psychophysiological responses to potentially catastrophic spaceflight operation, with and without graduated stress exposure, using a virtual reality environment. Twenty healthy participants were tasked with locating a fire on a virtual International Space Station (VR-ISS). After orientation, the treatment group (n = 10) practiced searching for a fire while exposed to a low-level stressor (light smoke), while the control group (n = 10) practiced without smoke. In the testing session, both groups responded to a fire while the VR-ISS unexpectedly filled with heavy smoke. Heart rate variability and blood pressure were measured continuously. Subjective workload was evaluated with the NASA Task Load Index, stress with the Short Stress State Questionnaire, and stress exposure with time-to-complete. During the heavy smoke condition, the control group showed parasympathetic withdrawal, indicating a mild stress response. The treatment group retained parasympathetic control. Thus, graduated stress exposure may enhance allostasis and relaxation behavior when confronted with a subsequent stressful condition.

“…Although daily physical training could reduce the risk and severity of depression and anxiety ( 73 , 74 ), other factors could offset the benefits. These include long-term heavy physical training, strict isolation measures, fear of infectious transmission, personal uncertainty about future career development, and lack of social and family support, all of which could increase risk of depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances among fire service recruits during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic, ( 75 , 76 ).…”

BackgroundResearch on the mental health and quality of life (hereafter QOL) among fire service recruits after the end of the COVID-19 restrictions is lacking. This study explored the network structure of depression, anxiety and insomnia, and their interconnections with QOL among fire service recruits in the post-COVID-19 era.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used a consecutive sampling of fire service recruits across China. We measured the severity of depression, anxiety and insomnia symptoms, and overall QOL using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief version (WHOQOL-BREF), respectively. We estimated the most central symptoms using the centrality index of expected influence (EI), and the symptoms connecting depression, anxiety and insomnia symptoms using bridge EI.ResultsIn total, 1,560 fire service recruits participated in the study. The prevalence of depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 5) was 15.2% (95% CI: 13.5–17.1%), while the prevalence of anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 5) was 11.2% (95% CI: 9.6–12.8%). GAD4 (“Trouble relaxing”) had the highest EI in the whole network model, followed by ISI5 (“Interference with daytime functioning”) and GAD6 (“Irritability”). In contrast, PHQ4 (“Fatigue”) had the highest bridge EI values in the network, followed by GAD4 (“Trouble relaxing”) and ISI5 (“Interference with daytime functioning”). Additionally, ISI4 “Sleep dissatisfaction” (average edge weight = −1.335), which was the central symptom with the highest intensity value, had the strongest negative correlation with QOL.ConclusionDepression and anxiety were important mental health issues to address among fire service recruits in the post-COVID-19 era in China. Targeting central and bridge symptoms identified in network analysis could help address depression and anxiety among fire service recruits in the post-COVID-19 era.
