很大一部分劳动力都患有抑郁症，并且给雇主和雇员带来高昂的成本。关于抑郁症的社会成本如何因社会和文化背景而变化的研究很少。这项研究调查了与工作场所抑郁症更大的不适感、员工因抑郁症而请假的可能性更大以及向雇主披露抑郁症的可能性更大相关的个人、工作场所和社会因素。来自七个欧洲国家的员工和管理人员 (n = 7,065) 被招募来参加 IDEA 调查。使用多变量逻辑回归模型来检查个人特征和国家背景特征之间的关联，这些特征与工作场所认知、请假的可能性以及向雇主披露抑郁症的可能性有关。我们的研究结果表明，福利制度和灵活的工作时间等结构性因素对于了解工作场所的看法以及抑郁症员工的后果非常重要。然而，专注于为患有抑郁症的员工提供帮助的管理者的反应似乎与工作场所的积极看法以及抑郁症员工的开放和披露有更强的联系。这项研究强调了个人、工作场所和社会因素的重要性，这些因素可能与抑郁症患者在工作场所如何被感知和对待有关，因此也可能与抑郁症员工的开放性和披露有关。一些应对措施，例如灵活的工作时间，可能会有所帮助，但不一定足够，我们的研究结果还强调了除了灵活的工作时间之外，管理者的支持和开放的重要性。
Depression is experienced by a large proportion of the workforce and associated with high costs to employers and employees. There is little research on how the social costs of depression vary by social and cultural context. This study investigates individual, workplace and societal factors associated with greater perceived discomfort regarding depression in the workplace, greater likelihood of employees taking time off of work as a result of depression and greater likelihood of disclosure of depression to one's employer. Employees and managers (n = 7,065) were recruited from seven European countries to participate in the IDEA survey. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations between individual characteristics and country contextual characteristics in relation to workplace perceptions, likelihood of taking time off work and disclosing depression to an employer. Our findings suggest that structural factors such as benefit systems and flexible working hours are important for understanding workplace perceptions and consequences for employees with depression. However, manager responses that focus on offering help to the employee with depression appear to have stronger associations with positive perceptions in the workplace, and also with openness and disclosure by employees with depression. This study highlights the importance of individual, workplace and societal factors that may be associated with how people with depression are perceived and treated in the workplace, and, hence, factors that may be associated with openness and disclosure among employees with depression. Some responses, such as flexible working hours, may be helpful but are not necessarily sufficient, and our findings also emphasise the importance of support and openness of managers in addition to flexible working hours.
