在幸存者中，经历恐怖主义与高度的心理痛苦有关。本研究的目的是研究工作环境因素，如角色清晰度和可预测性、角色冲突和领导支持是否可以防止工作场所恐怖袭击后心理困扰水平的提高。在2011年针对挪威各部委的奥斯陆爆炸袭击事件发生10个月后，大约1800名部长雇员的数据被收集起来。结果表明，创伤性事件后，较低的角色冲突、较高的角色清晰度、较高的可预测性和较高的领导支持与较低的心理困扰独立相关。这些发现表明，工作环境可能是员工压力事件后心理健康的促进者。
Experiencing terrorism is associated with high levels of psychological distress among survivors. The aim of the present study was to examine whether work environmental factors such as role clarity and predictability, role conflicts, and leader support may protect against elevated levels of psychological distress after a workplace terrorist attack. Data from approximately 1800 ministerial employees were collected ten months after the 2011 Oslo bombing attack which targeted the Norwegian ministries. The results show that after a traumatic event, lower role conflicts, higher role clarity, higher predictability, and higher leader support were independently associated with lower psychological distress. These findings suggest that the workplace environment may be a facilitator of employees' mental health after stressful events.
