Work Organization and Gambling Addiction

Официальное название

Assessment of the Interaction Between Atypical Working Hours and/or Periods of Inactivity on Risky Gambling Practices Among Adults Working Under These Conditions.

Обзор

Problem gambling (PG) is influenced by environmental, psychological, and socioeconomic factors, including impulsivity, depression, anxiety, and characteristics such as marital status, age, and educational level. In France, approximately 5% of adults are affected by PG. Workers with atypical schedules or periods of inactivity at work are at risk of developing problematic gambling behavior. Stress, burnout, and boredom at work can exacerbate these risks. Working atypical hours, such as night shifts, is linked to mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, which may increase the risk of PG. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of atypical schedules and periods of inactivity on PG. This research will explore the association between work schedules, periods of inactivity, and PG, particularly among workers who may be influenced by gambling norms and the specific characteristics of their jobs.

Подробное описание

Problem gambling (PG) can have serious consequences for individuals, their loved ones, and society. It is influenced by environmental, psychological, and socioeconomic factors, including impulsivity, depression, anxiety, and characteristics such as marital status, age, and educational level. In France, approximately 5% of adults are affected by PG. Workers, particularly those with atypical schedules or periods of inactivity at work, are at risk of developing problematic gambling behavior. Stress, burnout, and boredom at work can exacerbate these risks. Working atypical hours, such as night shifts, is also linked to mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, which could increase vulnerability to PG. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of atypical schedules and periods of inactivity on PG. This research project aims to explore the association between work schedules, periods of inactivity, and PG, particularly among workers who may be influenced by gambling norms and the specific characteristics of their jobs.
