Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Industrial Engineering

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges in the coal mining sector.
  • Miners faced significant resource loss and detrimental impacts on mental health.
  • Existing theories like Conservation of Resources (COR) can explain these effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the impact of COVID-19 risk, life-safety risk, job insecurity, and work-family conflict on coal miners' job performance.
  • To investigate the mediating roles of job anxiety (JA) and health anxiety (HA) in these relationships.
  • To provide insights for coal-mining companies to mitigate pandemic-related operational effects.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected via online structured questionnaires from 629 Chinese coal mine employees.
  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for data analysis.
  • The study tested hypotheses derived from COR theory and a resource-loss perspective.

Main Results:

  • Perceived COVID-19 risk, life-safety risk, job insecurity, and work-family conflict significantly decreased job performance.
  • Job anxiety and health anxiety were found to negatively mediate the relationship between risk factors and job performance.
  • All hypothesized negative impacts on job performance were statistically significant.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms the detrimental effects of pandemic-related risks and job insecurity on coal miners' performance.
  • Job and health anxiety act as crucial mediators, exacerbating the negative impact on performance.
  • Findings offer actionable insights for improving resilience and support within the coal mining industry during health crises.
