Abstract

Consistent with recent developments, we question the validity of trait neuroticism (N) and conscientiousness (C) as antecedents of psychological contract breach (PCB) and violation feelings. We investigate how key mediating (i.e., approach/avoidance goals) and moderating (i.e., emotion regulation strategies) mechanisms of the personality-PCB relationship operate over time. In Study 1 (550 observations), state N or C was associated positively with PCB and state N was associated positively with violation feelings. In study 2 (394 observations), state N was positively related to momentary avoidance goals, which in turn were related negatively to PCB and related positively to violation feelings. Moreover, suppression moderated the latter relationship; as suppression increased, the relationship between avoidance goals and violation feelings grew stronger. In contrast, state C was related positively to approach goals, which in turn were related positively to PCB and negatively to violation feelings. We discuss implications for theory and practice.

人格对心理契约评价的动态影响：关于接近/回避目标和情绪调节策略的两项研究调查

根据最近的研究进展，我们对特质神经质（N）和自觉性（C）作为心理契约违背（PCB）和违约情绪的前因的有效性提出了质疑。我们研究了人格与心理契约违背之间关系的主要中介（即接近/回避目标）和调节（即情绪调节策略）机制是如何随着时间的推移而运作的。在研究 1（550 次观察）中，状态 N 或 C 与多氯联苯呈正相关，状态 N 与侵犯感呈正相关。在研究 2（394 次观察）中，状态 N 与瞬间回避目标呈正相关，而瞬间回避目标又与多氯联苯呈负相关，与侵犯感呈正相关。此外，压抑调节了后一种关系；随着压抑的增加，回避目标和侵犯感之间的关系越来越强。相反，状态 C 与接近目标呈正相关，而接近目标又与 PCB 呈正相关，与侵犯感呈负相关。我们讨论了这对理论和实践的影响。
