Abstract

Purpose This study aims to illustrate the mechanisms underlying the effect of stress on flow states in the context of a multilevel organization, in which case employees' perseverative cognition and reactions to challenge–hindrance stressors are affected by leader mindfulness. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 employed a three-wave time-lag survey, and study 2 conducted a diary study across 10 workdays to replicate the results of study 1. Multilevel structural equation modeling and Monte Carlo simulation were performed using Mplus 8.0 software to test all hypotheses. Findings Problem-solving pondering transmits the nonlinear effect of challenge stressors on flow, and affective rumination mediates the negative effect of hindrance stressors on flow. Leader mindfulness amplifies the tendency of followers to ruminate on the positive aspects of challenge stressors, consequently increasing their positive reactions and flow. Although leader mindfulness fails to influence followers to ruminate less on hindrance stressors, it negates the harmful effect of affective rumination on the flow experience. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine the associations between stressor types and flow in the workplace. The authors also develop a new theory that highlights the ability of leader mindfulness to shape subordinates' stress, cognitions and reactions through social modeling and the authors identify the boundaries of its beneficial effects.
感觉压力很大,但精神饱满?领导正念塑造了下属的持续性认知和反应
本研究旨在探讨多层次组织背景下压力对流动状态的影响机制,在这种情况下,领导正念会影响员工对挑战-障碍压力源的持续认知和反应。设计/方法/方法研究1采用三波时差调查,研究2采用10个工作日的日记研究来重复研究1的结果。采用Mplus 8.0软件进行多层结构方程建模和蒙特卡罗模拟,对所有假设进行检验。发现问题解决性思考传递挑战应激源对心流的非线性效应,情感性反刍介导阻碍应激源对心流的负向效应。领导者正念会放大下属对挑战压力源的积极方面进行反思的倾向,从而增加他们的积极反应和心流。虽然领导正念不能影响下属减少对障碍压力源的反刍,但它否定了情感反刍对心流体验的有害影响。独创性/价值这项研究是第一个研究工作场所压力源类型和心流之间关系的研究之一。作者还提出了一个新的理论,强调了领导者正念通过社会模型塑造下属压力、认知和反应的能力,并确定了其有益影响的界限。
