By Daniel Butcher<\/a><\/p>\n

Early-career professionals often drink as much alcohol as they did in college or even more after graduation, especially if they\u2019re working in a sales role with a boss or mentor who drinks a lot, research shows. But young workers in roles that make them feel empowered and who are surrounded by supportive coworkers who tend to drink alcohol in moderation are more likely to deal with socialization and stress in healthy ways and avoid problem drinking.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to Academy of Management Scholar Peter Bamberger<\/a> of Tel Aviv University, who said supportive peer relationships with abstainers or moderate drinkers can be influential, as can jobs that provide a higher level of psychological empowerment.<\/p>\n

\u201cA combination of the two\u2014peer support and empowerment\u2014make it so that people aren\u2019t as stressed out by being given roles and tasks that they may not be able to handle, because underlying a lot of what\u2019s involved with this drinking are two main motivations,\u201d Bamberger said. \u201cOne is a normative social motivation to go out and drink to become socially integrated in their workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second is a stress motivation: \u2018This is how I coped with stress in college; I went out to drink, and now I do the same thing at work,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cOne of the critical things that we show in our research studies is that if managers can find alternative ways of coping with stress, actually being proactive in terms of trying to address some of the stressors that newcomers face at work, like uncertainty, they may be able to speed up that maturing out process that can lead to reduced levels of alcohol consumption among early-career professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport from peers and psychological empowerment were keys to success in that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
