歐洲人力調(diào)查:英國(guó)民眾工作壓力小英語(yǔ)美文
Staff in the Netherlands and Spain were less stressed than Britons
UK workers are among the least stressed in Europe, a survey has suggested.
Just 20% of British workers found their workplace "too stressful" compared with an average of 27% across Europe.
Switzerland and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment agency Kelly Services found.
The poll of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in steady jobs were under the greatest pressure.
"A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter," said Steve Girdler, marketing director of Kelly Services UK.
"But high levels of prolonged stress are not good because they impact on productivity and are associated with physical and emotional illness," he warned.
The group also found stress increased significantly with age - rising from 19% in the 15-24 age bracket to 23% for those aged 45 and above.
The report suggested these workers could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility.
Those working the longest hours found their job the most stressful - 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours.
Kelly Services also uncovered a close link between stress and job satisfaction.
For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were happy in their jobs, while for those with "just the right amount of stress" happiness levels jumped to 65%.
The findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to "learn new skills".
最近一項(xiàng)調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，英國(guó)員工面臨的工作壓力在整個(gè)歐洲屬于最小之列。
27%的歐洲人認(rèn)為工作壓力很大，和這個(gè)平均數(shù)據(jù)相比，只有20%的英國(guó)人覺(jué)得自己的工作壓力大。
全球人力顧問(wèn)公司Kelly Services的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，瑞士和瑞典員工在工作中感受到焦慮不安的比例最多，達(dá)到33%。
這項(xiàng)對(duì)12個(gè)國(guó)家的1.9萬(wàn)人次進(jìn)行的調(diào)查還顯示男員工、老員工和工作穩(wěn)定的員工通常面臨的工作壓力最大。
“工作有一定壓力是不可避免的，如果壓力能夠讓員工在習(xí)以為常的舒適環(huán)境中更加努力工作、工作得更漂亮的話(huà)，有壓力就是件好事。”Kelly Services英國(guó)市場(chǎng)行銷(xiāo)經(jīng)理史蒂夫·格德勒說(shuō)。
“不過(guò)，如果長(zhǎng)期壓力過(guò)大，反而會(huì)適得其反，因?yàn)檫@樣難免會(huì)影響生產(chǎn)效率，導(dǎo)致生理和心理方面的疾病。”他提醒說(shuō)。
調(diào)查小組同時(shí)還發(fā)現(xiàn)，壓力隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)而顯著增加。在15到24歲的員工中，只有19%的員工感到工作壓力大，而45歲和45歲以上的員工中則有23%的人有這樣的感覺(jué)。
報(bào)告指出，這些員工同時(shí)面臨來(lái)自家庭的壓力，肩上的責(zé)任也越來(lái)越大。
工作時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的人覺(jué)得他們的工作壓力最大，每周工作30個(gè)小時(shí)或不到30個(gè)小時(shí)的`員工，只有18%感到工作壓力大，而每周工作41到50小時(shí)的員工中有34%有這樣的感覺(jué)，每周工作時(shí)間超過(guò)51小時(shí)的員工中這個(gè)數(shù)字達(dá)到50%。
Kelly Services還揭示了壓力和工作滿(mǎn)意度之間有著密切聯(lián)系。
那些認(rèn)為自己工作壓力太大的員工中，只有28%的人認(rèn)為自己的工作很快樂(lè)，而在那些"工作壓力適度"的員工中，快樂(lè)指數(shù)一下子升高到65%。
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)員工喜歡那些具有挑戰(zhàn)性、能促進(jìn)自己“學(xué)到新技術(shù)”的工作。
