Abstract
En 中文
The Stressor-Vulnerability Model of Alcohol Consumption, which suggests that individuals who possess predisposing vulnerabilities are more likely to consume alcohol in response to stress, has not yet been explicitly adapted to work environments. Using a daily diary method, we examined individual and social vulnerabilities as moderators of the relationship between work stress and alcohol consumption. Food service employees completed an initial survey measuring trait attitudes and beliefs regarding alcohol and a daily survey administered for 21 days measuring work stressors and alcohol consumption. Based on a sample of 53 individuals with 955 observations, multilevel path models revealed a positive, but insignificant direct relationship between work stressors and daily alcohol consumption (b = .070, SE = .048, p = .144). In line with a stressor-vulnerability framework, the tension reduction alcohol outcome expectancy moderated the stressor-consumption relationship (b = .109, SE = .052, p = .037). Those who endorsed that drinking would ease physical and emotional tension consumed more alcohol on high stress days. These results highlight the potential utility of the Stressor-Vulnerability Model, particularly a tension reduction expectancy, as a theoretical lens to understand alcohol consumption in response to work stress and to improve workplace screening, psychoeducation, and assistance programs.
