Prices are soaring, rents are soaring, and competition in the workplace is becoming increasingly fierce. For those working people who are busy for their livelihood every day, the pressure of survival is like a huge invisible mountain on their shoulders. It also causes various psychological problems in the workplace. A few days ago, the most authoritative and professional recruitment website for professionals in different industries in China, yingcai.com, together with sina.com health channel and Legal Evening News, launched the “2011 survey on the mental health of working people”. The survey lasted a week and 3500 people participated. The survey shows that 67% of workers are often anxious, will be upset because of some small things, and have a tendency of anxiety; 54% of the people said that they often have poor sleep, low mood and depression, lack of appetite, chest tightness and weakness, feel that life is not fun, and have a potential tendency of depressive neurosis; 50% of the people think that their stress mainly comes from the pressure brought by the high cost of living.
nearly 70% of workers said they would be anxious and restless from time to time
The survey results show that 67% of the workers are nervous, often feel anxious, and will be upset because of some small things; Secondly, more than half of the workers said that they had poor sleep, low mood, lack of appetite, chest tightness, lack of energy, and felt that life was not fun, accounting for 54%; 18% of workers have compulsive ideas or behaviors. Another 18% of workers said they were afraid of social interaction, crowds, wilderness and darkness; People who had convulsions, headache, chest tightness, limb tremor, blinking, shaking their heads, and unjustified grievances also accounted for 18%.
According to the analysis of the employment guidance experts of yingcai.com, different symptoms also represent different mental diseases. From the survey results, we can see that most workers tend to have anxiety disorder and are always anxious or irritable because of small things. Anxiety disorder can make people’s memory decline and affect people’s normal decision-making and judgment on things. Although this kind of appearance seems to be harmless, it will further lead to other psychological problems and even autism over time.
Half of the people in the survey said that they were depressed and unhappy all day, which is the potential tendency of depressive neurosis, which is commonly known as depression. Depression often comes on after suffering from nerve stimulation, presenting a depressive mood that is difficult to resolve, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors may occur in serious cases.
In addition, workers who are often afraid of social interaction and the wilderness should be on guard against phobia, which is also a kind of psychological disease. It refers to the very strong fear of certain things or special situations. In addition, there is obsessive-compulsive disorder in psychology, which is a neurosis mainly manifested by obsessive-compulsive concepts and compulsions. Hysteria, also known as hysteria, refers to sensory and motor mechanism disorders or dysfunctions, which will show a variety of obvious disease reactions such as convulsions, upset, grievances, limb tremors, shaking of head, etc. According to the survey, there are also many people with these two tendencies.
source of pressure: high life pressure takes the lead
In this survey, when answering “what do you think is the main source of your stress?” In this multiple-choice question, 50% of the workers think that the pressure mainly comes from the high cost of living; 42% of workers suffer from the pressure of complex workplace interpersonal relationships, which also shows that competition in the modern workplace is becoming increasingly fierce; 35% think that the overload workload and tight work schedule are unbearable; 21% of the people said that they were in the workplace, and the pressure of job change was great; Another 12% thought that working in a tight office building would bring them environmental pressure. The proportion of family relationship stress exceeds that of job change and environmental stress, accounting for 25%.
The employment guidance expert of the talent network association said that stress is the root cause of psychological problems in the workplace. It is not surprising that half of the people in the survey preferred the cost of living pressure as the source of stress. The rising prices and house prices have lagged far behind the growth of wages. This undoubtedly increases the pressure on workers to survive, leaving workers who make a living through work even more helpless, and then eager to increase their income through promotion and job hopping. This also intensifies workplace competition from the side and drives the pressure of workplace interpersonal relations and workload. Great pressure is like a chain lock. Too much dissatisfaction at work often makes people irritable and escalates family conflicts.
workers in private enterprises have the greatest pressure.
The survey shows that more than half of the workers who think they are under greater psychological pressure are in private enterprises, accounting for 51%; Only 19% of workers in state-owned enterprises, in sharp contrast to private enterprises; In comparison, foreign-funded enterprises only account for 5%; Workers in state organs and public institutions bear the least pressure, accounting for only 4%.
The employment guidance experts of the talent network association pointed out that in recent years, the process of diversification of China’s economic structure has been smoothly promoted, many private enterprises in various industries have flourished, and a large number of talents have been absorbed by private enterprises. Private enterprises are responsible for their own profits and losses, and are relatively flexible in structural adjustment and policy changes. Naturally, the pressure on the workplace is the greatest. While state-owned enterprises are generally established and mature, people’s pressure is more career pressure such as job change. Most employees of the state and public institutions have their own establishment, with rich benefits, stable posts and less workplace pressure.
in the face of pressure, most people in the workplace know how to adjust themselves
According to the survey, in the face of pressure, 64% of workers said that they would actively adjust their mentality, correctly understand themselves, and avoid further self entanglement, leading to mental illness. Another half of the workers said that they would develop their personal interests and hobbies and arrange their time reasonably, which is also a good way to divert attention and decompose stress. 44% of the working people will find friends to chat and party when they are under too much pressure or feel depressed, so that the pressure can be relieved and shared, and they can also get better ways to deal with confusion in communication with others. Also, 5% of workers said that they would turn to psychological counseling and experts for help.
The employment guidance expert of yingcai.com said that in the face of pressure, people in the workplace can understand how to adjust their mentality and face life positively, which is the first thing to avoid mental illness. Making reasonable arrangements for one’s own time and developing hobbies is a smart way to disperse pressure. It allows people to adjust their mental state while leaving unnecessary pressure behind, and further explore their self-worth and build confidence in life. Communicating and talking with friends is also a good way to relieve pressure. Everyone has pressure. In communicating with friends, we should correctly view our own confusion and actively seek solutions. If necessary, consult a psychologist in time to untie the knot for yourself and avoid mental illness.
Modernization is a process full of paradoxes. In the face of the tide of pressure, people in the workplace should know how to strengthen their psychological immunity and be flexible. They should not be deprived of their mental health by invisible pressure. When necessary, they should have a correct understanding and seek medical treatment in time.
