作者调查了单位层面的绩效资源在工作场所关键事件的参与强度与问题饮酒行为(即饮酒以应对)之间的苦恼中介关系中的调节作用。基于分层线性建模的最新发展，作者使用来自144家公司的1,481名消防员的数据，测试了一个跨级别、适度调解的模型。研究结果表明：(A)参与这类事件的强度与饮酒应对之间存在显著的痛苦中介关联，这种关联因公司(即单位)而异；以及(B)单位层面绩效资源的充分性解释了这种跨单位差异的很大程度，并削弱了个人层面的调解阶段(即参与危急事件的强度->痛苦和饮酒应对)。讨论了单位资源充分性在压力-应变关系中作为脆弱性因素所起的作用。
The authors investigated the moderating role of unit-level performance resources on the distress-mediated relationship between the intensity of involvement in workplace critical incidents and problematic drinking behavior (i.e., drinking to cope). Building on recent developments in hierarchical linear modeling, the authors tested a cross-level, moderated-mediation model using data from 1,481 firefighters in 144 companies. The findings indicate that (a) there is a significant, distress-mediated association between intensity of involvement in such incidents and drinking to cope, which varies by company (i.e., unit), and (b) the adequacy of unit-level performance resources explains much of this cross-unit variance and attenuates both individual-level mediation stages (i.e., intensity of involvement in critical incidents -> distress, and distress -> drinking to cope). Implications regarding the role of unit resources adequacy as a vulnerability factor in stressor-strain relations are discussed.
