本研究考察了非工作时间心理分离水平越高是否与员工心理健康水平越好相关(假设1)，并检验了心理分离与工作投入之间是否存在曲线关系(倒U型关系)(假设2)。在日本一家互联网调查公司的注册监控员中进行了一项大型横断面互联网调查。问卷包括心理疏离量表、员工心理健康量表和工作投入量表，以及作为潜在混杂因素的工作特征和人口统计学变量。在2234名在第三产业有固定工作的受访者中，使用调节结构方程建模技术对假设模型进行了检验。结果表明，心理疏离与心理健康、工作投入均呈曲线关系。当心理疏离水平从低到高时，心理健康状况有所改善，但心理疏离水平极高时，心理健康并不会进一步受益。工作敬业度在中等分离水平(倒U型)最高。虽然高度的心理疏离可以提高员工的心理健康水平，但适度的心理疏离对员工的工作敬业度是最有利的。
This study examined whether a higher level of psychological detachment during non-work time is associated with better employee mental health (Hypothesis 1), and examined whether psychological detachment has a curvilinear relation (inverted U-shaped pattern) with work engagement (Hypothesis 2). A large cross-sectional Internet survey was conducted among registered monitors of an Internet survey company in Japan. The questionnaire included scales for psychological detachment, employee mental health, and work engagement as well as for job characteristics and demographic variables as potential confounders. The hypothesized model was tested with moderated structural equation modeling techniques among 2,234 respondents working in the tertiary industries with regular employment. Results showed that psychological detachment had curvilinear relations with mental health as well as with work engagement. Mental health improved when psychological detachment increased from a low to higher levels but did not benefit any further from extremely high levels of psychological detachment. Work engagement showed the highest level at an intermediate level of detachment (inverted U-shaped pattern). Although high psychological detachment may enhance employee mental health, moderate levels of psychological detachment are most beneficial for his or her work engagement.
