14.Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However,it can also be very risky for a person's mental health,according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence,life control and overall well-being(幸福感)."Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way,"said Chris Boyce,the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead,these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should,which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate.
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health,Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life,including work and self-reported health.After analyzing all the available information,they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.
However,what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people,on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith,a Scottish health expert,said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said,"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health."
