研究：同事间互相排挤会折寿

Working with co-workers who undermine each other can result in shorter lives than working with a good peer support system, Israeli researchers report.

以色列研究人员称，与一个良好的合作氛围相比，同事间互相排挤会折损寿命。

Arie Shirom of Tel Aviv University tracked the medical records of 820 workers - mostly in blue-collar types of jobs - from some of Israel's largest firms in finance, insurance, public utilities, healthcare and manufacturing for 20 years, from 1988 to 2008, during which 53 participants died.

特拉维夫大学的Arie Shirom持续20年（从1988年到2008年）追踪调查了以色列金融、保险、公用事业、医疗以及制造业部分大型企业的820名工人（大部分为蓝领）的医疗记录，其中53名受试者中途去世。

One-third of the study subjects were women; 80 percent were married with children and 45 percent had at least 12 years of formal education. They reported working on average 8.8 hours a day.

1/3的受试对象是女性；80%者已婚生子，45%者至少接受过12年的正规教育。据了解他们日平均工作时长为8.8小时。

The study, scheduled to be published in the May issue of the journal Health Psychology, said the effect of peer social support on the risk of mortality was most pronounced among those between the ages of 38-43. Yet similar support from workers' supervisors had no effect on mortality, the researchers found.

这份即将刊载于5月号《健康心理学》杂志的研究报告称，同事间的社会支持与死亡风险之间的联系在38岁至43岁年龄段的人群中表现最为明显。但是研究人员发现，上司们对员工表现出的类似支持姿态却对死亡率没有影响。

In addition, men who said they felt like they had control and decision authority at work also experienced this "protective effect," but control and decision authority increased the risk of mortality among women in the sample.

此外，声称更喜欢拥有控制决策权威的男性雇员也会有这种“保护性效应”，但控制决策权威却可增加受试群体中女性的死亡风险。
