“…Employees perceive that their organization is committed to them through perceived organizational support (Armstrong-Stassen, 2004): In other words, it is the perception of receiving supportive behaviors from colleagues and superiors (Caplan, Cobb, French, Harrison, & Pinneau, 1975; Kaufmann & Beehr, 1986). According to Armstrong-Stassen (2004), both affective commitment and perceived support by colleagues and superiors are important resources that can facilitate adaptive coping strategies, which in turn can protect against negative health effects, especially in stressful situations (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; Lourel, Hartmann, Closon, Mouda, & Petric-Tatu, 2013).…”

Emergency workers are exposed to chronic and acute emotionally demanding stressors. Fortunately, they have some important psychological resources that can buffer the negative effects deriving from the exposure to occupational stressors. In particular, job, organizational, and family support can protect rescuers against negative health effects, such as burnout and vicarious traumatization (VT). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of perceived social support as a protective factor against negative outcomes in a sample of Italian rescuers. Of the present sample (N ϭ 782), 70.3% were ambulance operators, mainly volunteers (65.9%). They filled in a paper-and-pencil questionnaire aimed at investigating VT, burnout, job support from colleagues and superiors, organizational support in terms of affective commitment, and family support. Stepwise multiple linear regression analyses verified the influence exerted by affective commitment and social support on well-being dimensions. Results showed that affective commitment has the most significant influence on all burnout and VT dimensions, whereas family support has the weakest influence. Our findings confirm that affective commitment is an important coping resource that protects individuals against negative effects and that social support at work is associated with some dimensions of burnout and posttraumatic symptoms. The main result of the present study concerns the important role of affective commitment as a protective resource against negative psychological effects. Therefore, work environments organized in a way that employees can feel affectively committed to their organization may function as a buffer against negative outcomes, especially if it is associated with a strong social support from colleagues.

“…Social support is a multidimensional construct referring to the functions and characteristics of social relationships (Lourel et al, 2013). The operational aspect of social support is related to its functions (e.g., emotional, instrumental, informational and esteem transactions), while its structural facet encompasses social integration and social networks based on the network size as a proxy of the perceived support individuals have in their environment (Brissette et al, 2000).…”

Social network changes may occur during disruptive events (e.g., COVID-19), especially with immigrants who need to rebuild networks, undermining their mental health. Study 1 (N =18) investigates immigrants' perceived changes before and during the pandemic in their networks, mental health, social support and social capital. Study 2 (N =53) examines the same in a sample of non-migrants. Convenience samples were collected online between July and November 2020, addressing participants' perceived health networks and mental health through name generators (alters’ names), name interpreters (attributes), position generator (social capital), and the Mental Health Inventory-5. E-net software assessed the network's efficiency and homophily. Study 1 results revealed immigrants reduced their mental health, and network changes by decreasing social support, efficiency and social capital. In study 2, non-migrant network changes were small, not compromising their efficiency and social capital. Contributions suggest the importance of health crisis management with actions to support migrant social networks.
