A previous study suggests that casino employees are at higher risk for disordered gambling than non-casino employees. The present study examined the cognitive correlates of the gambling involvement of Chinese casino employees. These potential cognitive correlates included attitudes toward the gaming industry and gambling activities, perceived job meaningfulness, and job stress. One hundred and nineteen Chinese respondents (M = 57; F = 62) working as dealers in Macao casinos were recruited through convenience sampling to fill out a questionnaire. The results revealed that about 7% of the respondents scored 10 or more on the South Oaks Gambling Screen and engaged in disordered gambling. Path analysis showed that attitude toward the gaming industry had a positive impact on job meaningfulness, which largely explained variances of job stress among casino employees. Job stress had a significant, but weak, direct impact on disordered gambling. Though causality between variables cannot be confirmed, this study provided insights into the impacts of cognitive factors on gambling involvement among Chinese front-line employees in the gaming industry. Implications of the findings were also discussed.

先前的一项研究表明,赌场员工比非赌场员工有更高的赌博风险。本研究考察了中国赌场员工参与赌博的认知相关性。这些潜在的认知相关性包括对博彩业和赌博活动的态度,感知到的工作意义和工作压力。通过便利抽样招募了在澳门赌场担任交易商的119名中国受访者 (M = 57; F = 62),以填写问卷。结果显示,约7% 的受访者在South Oaks赌博屏幕上得分为10分或以上,并且从事无序赌博。路径分析表明,对博彩业的态度对工作意义产生了积极影响,这在很大程度上解释了赌场员工工作压力的差异。工作压力对无序赌博有显著但微弱的直接影响。尽管变量之间的因果关系无法确定,但本研究提供了认知因素对中国游戏行业一线员工赌博参与的影响的见解。还讨论了调查结果的含义。
