心理社会危害有可能对员工健康造成伤害，并对组织结果产生负面影响。与工作相关的压力是暴露于心理社会风险的结果，在过去的几十年里，这种风险在研究和政策层面得到了广泛关注。欧洲联盟作出了很大的提高认识的努力，包括在宏观政策一级，各国之间存在一些差异和做法。然而，对应对心理社会风险的政策性干预措施的评估仍然很少。意大利是最近随着第81/2008号法令的出台而改变了心理社会风险政策背景的案例之一。本文利用欧洲新风险和新兴风险企业调查(ESENER)在这项新法律实施后立即(2009)和六年(2014)收集的数据，旨在通过探索与心理社会风险管理有关的组织行动报告水平的差异，来评估新法律实施的影响。该样本由2984名受访者组成，分别对应于2009年负责工作场所健康和安全的1501名最高级别管理人员和1483名最了解2014年工作场所安全和健康风险管理方式的人。调查结果突出表明，受访者报告的对心理社会风险的担忧随着时间的推移而减少，工作相关压力的管理有所改善。论文还强调了使用Esener等大规模调查作为评估欧洲企业随着时间推移的健康和安全管理趋势的重要工具。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Psychosocial hazards have the potential to cause harm to employee health and negatively affect organisational outcomes. Work-related stress is an outcome of exposure to psychosocial risks that has received broad attention at research and policy level in the last decades. Great awareness raising efforts have been made in the European Union, including at the macro policy level, with several differences and approaches across countries. However, evaluation of policy-level interventions to address psychosocial risks is still scarce. This paper focuses on Italy as one of the cases where the policy context on psychosocial risks recently changed with the introduction of the Legislative Decree 81/2008. Using data collected through the European Survey of Enterprises of New and Emerging Risks (ESENER) immediately after (2009) and six years after (2014) the implementation of this new legislation, this paper aims to evaluate the impact of its introduction by exploring differences in the reported level of organisational action as concerns psychosocial risk management. The sample was composed of 2984 respondents corresponding to 1501 highest-ranking managers responsible for health and safety at work in 2009 and 1483 persons who know best about the way safety and health risks are managed at their workplace in 2014. Findings highlighted a decreasing reported concern from the respondents about psychosocial risks over time and an improvement in the management of work-related stress. The paper also highlights the use of large-scale surveys such as ESENER as an important tool in evaluating health and safety management trends over time in European enterprises.
