Workplace and Employee Alcohol Problems

The Relationship between Work Environment and Employee Problem Drinking

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the relationship between work
environment and employee alcohol use, in particular,
employee alcohol problems. The study detailed in the
book is based on the premise that work environmental
risk factors may influence employee alcohol use,
including employee problem drinking. At the same
time, the study also takes into account the alcohol
problems or the potential for such problems that
employees may bring with them into the workplace.
The study utilized the conceptual framework of Ames
and Janes (1992) workplace environmental dimensions
of normative regulation of drinking, quality and
organization of work, factors external to the
workplace, and workplace drinking subcultures to
extend previous alcohol and the workplace research.
Administrative Support Unit and Blue Collar
employees from a public urban university in the US
were surveyed and interviewed about their work
environments and alcohol use. Study findings
are presented along with study implications.
