Financial Stress, Coping Mechanisms and Job Withdrawal Behaviours among Young Financial Workers

(Title)

Abstract

Recent organisational surveys have found that many young workers are stressed about their personal finances. This is significant as these results are being found in industries renown for having high rates of occupational stress. Despite this, the literature pertaining to young people and financial stress is thin at best. Given previous studies have suggested financial strain can harm students’ academic attainment, the aim of this study was to investigate how, if at all, this behaviour has translated since they have entered the workplace. More specifically, this study sought to investigate the influences financial stress was having on coping activities and job withdrawal attitudes. Several hypotheses were proposed that suggested financial stress was a predictor of these behaviours, and a research question sought, by open survey question, to discover what specific coping mechanisms young people employed. The survey sampled young workers at a world-leading bank with 76 valid responses. Data was analysed using both quantitative and qualitative tools accordingly. Results indicated that financial stress is a predictor of Emotion-Focused Coping behaviour and job withdrawal behaviours (absenteeism and turnover). Likewise, the research question found exercise and escapism to be two of the most common coping mechanisms employed by young people. Going forward, effective solutions need to be drawn to help young people address their financial strain before organisational consequences appear.
