UNASSIGNED: The present research focuses on the mediating roles of job-related risk and personal risk, and the moderating effect of gender. We hypothesized that employees’ aversion to risks, both in their professional and personal facets, mediates the relationship between the rapid digitalization of their work environment and the resultant job stress. Regarding gender as a moderator, recent research suggests that gender can influence the experience of workplace stress, with women often experiencing higher levels of stress than men in certain situations. This indicates that gender might also moderate the relationship between digital living, risk perception, and job-related stress. This approach allows for an examination of the ways in which digital technology adoption influences workplace stress, considering the temporally spaced data.
UNASSIGNED: Conducted over three waves of data collection among 795 Chinese employees, the research utilizes Hayes’s Model 8, adept at revealing the dynamics of digitalization’s influence in the workplace and its effects on individual well-being.
UNASSIGNED: The study corroborates Hypothesis 1 by establishing a significant, albeit less pronounced, relationship between digital living and job stress. The findings also support Hypothesis 2 by demonstrating that both job risk and personal risk mediate this relationship. The study’s results also validate Hypothesis 3, indicating that gender moderates the relationship between digital living, job risk, personal risk, and job stress. Finally, the significant interaction effects found in the study, particularly the stronger conditional negative effect of digital living on perceptions of job and personal risks for males, despite the absence of statistical significance failed to support Hypothesis 4.
UNASSIGNED: This study sheds light on the dynamics of job stress in the context of a digitalizing work environment. The results have important implications for designing workplace strategies and interventions that are sensitive to risk perceptions and gender differences in the digital era.
■本研究集中在与工作相关的风险和个人风险的中介作用,以及性别的调节作用。我们假设员工对风险的厌恶,在他们的专业和个人方面,调解工作环境的快速数字化与由此产生的工作压力之间的关系。关于性别作为主持人,最近的研究表明,性别可以影响工作场所压力的体验,在某些情况下,女性往往比男性承受更高的压力。这表明性别也可能缓和数字生活之间的关系,风险感知,和工作相关的压力。这种方法可以检查数字技术采用对工作场所压力的影响方式,考虑时间间隔的数据。
■在795名中国员工中进行了三波数据收集,该研究利用Hayes的模型8,善于揭示数字化在工作场所的影响动态及其对个人福祉的影响。
■该研究通过建立一个显著的,尽管不那么明显,数字生活与工作压力的关系。通过证明工作风险和个人风险都介导了这种关系,研究结果也支持了假设2。研究结果还验证了假设3,表明性别缓和了数字生活之间的关系,工作风险,个人风险,和工作压力。最后,研究中发现的显著交互作用,特别是数字生活对男性的工作和个人风险的看法有更强的条件负面影响,尽管没有统计学意义,但未能支持假设4。
■这项研究揭示了数字化工作环境下工作压力的动态。研究结果对于设计对数字时代的风险认知和性别差异敏感的工作场所策略和干预措施具有重要意义。
