本研究旨在探讨工作压力源（工作超负荷和工作不安全感）与员工饮酒和吸毒的关系。主要目标是探索时间背景（工作前，工作日期间，工作后）在物质使用的评估与上下文无关（整体）的评估相比的重要性。数据收集自美国工人的全国样本（N = 2，790），他们参加了一项关于工作场所健康和安全的广泛横断面调查。与过去的研究一致，结果未能支持工作压力源和酒精和非法药物使用的整体措施之间的关系。然而，研究结果支持工作前，工作日期间和工作后的工作压力与酒精和非法药物使用的关系。这些结果提供了支持的压力引起的物质使用和压力反应阻尼命题的紧张局势减少假说。当探索工作环境作为员工物质使用的潜在原因时，这些结果强调了评估酒精和非法药物使用与工作日时间关系的措施的重要性。
In this study, the author explored the relations of 2 work stressors (work overload and job insecurity) to employee alcohol use and illicit drug use. The primary goal was to explore the importance of temporal context (before work, during the workday, and after work) in the assessment of substance use compared with context-free (overall) assessments. Data were collected from a national sample of U.S. workers (N = 2,790) who took part in a broad cross-sectional survey on workplace health and safety. Consistent with past research, the results fail to support a relation between work stressors and overall measures of alcohol and illicit drug use. However, the results support the relation of work stressors to alcohol and illicit drug use before work, during the workday, and after work. These results provide support for both the stress-induced substance use and stress response dampening propositions of the tension-reduction hypothesis. When exploring the work environment as a potential cause of employee substance use, these results underscore the importance of measures that assess alcohol and illicit drug use in terms of their temporal relation to the workday.
