Responding to fire-related stressors in the workplace: An examination of the role of social support from a group processes perspective

本研究具有显著的国家效益，必将取得基础性和应用性成果。在基本层面上，本研究将有助于更好地理解社会支持如何减少压力源的影响，并激发工作场所压力和社会认同领域的新研究途径。在更实用的层面上，该研究项目将为未来的干预提供基础，旨在减少工作场所火灾的社会成本。预计这种干预将带来一些经济和社会效益，如减少病假、员工流失率和生产力损失，并在心理健康方面改善员工的结果。

This research has significant national benefit and will result in basic and applied outcomes. At the basic level, the research will result in a better understanding of the way in which social support reduces the impact of stressors and stimulate new avenues of research in the fields of workplace stress and social identity. At a more applied level, the research program will provide the grounding for a future intervention designed to reduce the social costs of workplace fires. It is expected that such an intervention would be associated with several economic and social benefits such as a reduction in sick leave, employee turnover, and losses in productivity, and improved outcomes for employees in terms of psychological well-being.
