- W641718687 abstract "Study 1 comprised a cross-sectional questionnaire survey designed to identify workrelatedstressors and the prevalence of perceived strain amongst a randomly selectedand representative sample of naval service personnel. Key identified stressors were:work/family conflict, role conflict, poor physical work environment, lack of resourcesand lack of autonomy and control. The latter factor had a direct effect on strain,contrary to Karasek's demands/control model. The impact of identified stressors wasmoderated by supervisor and peer support, but not by spouse support. Significantdifferences in indices of strain were observed. The overall GHQ 'case' rate wassignificantly higher than the general population, whilst significantly higher rates werereported by females compared to males. Significantly lower rates were reported byofficers compared to ratings, and by those aged 25 and older compared to those under25 years. RN female ratings, aged under 25 years, serving on ships reported thehighest GHQ 'case' rates.This finding prompted Study 2 to examine in greater detail the factors contributing towork-related strain for those serving on ships, particularly for young naval ratings.Two warships were nominated to participate in a longitudinal study during a sixmonth operational deployment. The study monitored the physical and psychologicalwell-being of 124 volunteers during the deployment, including the contribution ofpersonality and coping styles using a combination of qualitative and quantitative data.Volunteers' use and opinions of support services were also sought, as the navalservice provides a comprehensive support framework to assist personnel withprofessional, family, legal and financial difficulties.The findings reinforced those from Study 1, in that similar work-related stressorswere identified as contributing to increased strain. Control at work did not influencethe work demands/strain relationship, though this may partly be due to theconfounding effect of gender, as females reported significantly lower control thanmales, and partly to the small sample size (93 compared to 1,170 for Study 1).Significant main effects for supervisor support were found, whether neuroticism wascontrolled for or not. Both work/family conflict and role conflict were significantlyrelated to perceived strain, depending on whether neuroticism was controlled for,though lack of resources was not a significant factor. Work/family conflict was alsorelated to poorer organisational commitment. The significance of work/familyconflict as both related to greater strain and lower organisational commitment is a keyfinding for the executive in developing policy and manpower projection forecasts.Significant relationships were observed between neuroticism and strain at all threemeasurement points during the deployment, but possible gender bias in themeasurement tool cannot be discounted. A modest relationship was observedbetween the coping style 'avoidance' with both neuroticism and strain, suggesting thismay not be an appropriate coping style for the demands of service life at sea.Study 1 found that the various support services provided by the organisation did notameliorate the effects of strain in the workplace. The views expressed by participantsin Study 2 reveal a range of attitudes, some negative, including a lack of knowledgeabout the services provided. This highlights the need for greater publicity about thesupport services available. Negative gender stereotypes also appear to persist withinthe divisional system, creating a barrier to effective divisional care." @default.
