摘要:在竞争愈发激烈的当代社会,压力被个体视为荣誉和炫耀的资本,压力炫耀也因此受到广泛关注。现有关于压力炫耀的研究大多聚焦于探讨其对组织或第三方的影响,忽视了压力炫耀对自身的影响。基于认知-情感人格系统理论,本研究探讨了压力炫耀对自身影响的内在机制和边界条件。研究1的情景实验(N=181)结果表明,压力炫耀会提升员工基于组织的自尊而增加主动工作行为,也将引发员工的职场焦虑情绪而实施亲组织非伦理行为。研究2基于三时点的实地问卷调查(N=319),不仅再次验证了研究1的结果,还发现个人能力在其中的调节作用。以上结果不仅丰富了压力炫耀领域的相关研究,还为如何正确看待压力炫耀提供了理论和实践启示。
Abstract: In the increasingly competitive contemporary society, stress is regarded by individuals as a source of honor and a capital for boasting, which has led to widespread attention on stress bragging. Based on cognitive-affective personal systems theory, this study examined the internal mechanisms and boundary conditions of the effects of stress bragging on oneself. Study 1 used a scenario experiment(N=181), and the results indicated that stress bragging may enhance individuals' organizational-based self-esteem and increase proactive work behaviors, or it may trigger individuals' workplace anxiety and commit unethical pro-organizational behaviors. Study 2 used a three-wave questionnaire survey(N=319), which not only re-validated the results of Study 1, but also revealed the moderating role of individual competence. The above results not only enrich related research in the field of stress bragging, but also provide theoretical and practical insights on how to properly view stress bragging.
