Abstract

Research suggests that the nondisclosure of relationships may cause adverse psychological stress; however, no studies have empirically examined the impact of secret workplace romances (WRs) on employee well-being. This article uses the communication privacy management theory as a framework to test workplace romance nondisclosure on job and life satisfaction. Relationship nondisclosure predicted differences in both projected job and life satisfaction. Additionally, individual differences (i.e., gender, age, work experience, conscientiousnes and emotional stability) were tested as moderators of the relationship between WRs and job and life satisfaction. Implications for practitioners (e.g., communication training) about WRs on employee outcomes are discussed.

我们在暗处做了什么？职场恋情保密与员工福利

研究表明，不公开恋情可能会造成不良的心理压力；但是，还没有研究对职场秘密恋情（WR）对员工幸福感的影响进行实证研究。本文以沟通隐私管理理论为框架，检验职场恋情不公开对工作和生活满意度的影响。恋情不公开预测了预测工作和生活满意度的差异。此外，还测试了个体差异（即性别、年龄、工作经验、自觉性和情绪稳定性）作为 WR 与工作和生活满意度之间关系的调节因素。研究还讨论了WRs对员工结果的影响对从业人员（如沟通培训）的启示。

期刊介绍： Business and Professional Communication Quarterly is the only refereed journal devoted to research that advances the teaching of communication in the workplace. The journal aims to present the many interdisciplinary, international, and organizational perspectives that characterize the field and specifically to publish research that advances knowledge about business and professional communication pedagogy and praxis in both academic and workplace settings, including technical and scientific communication, rhetoric, program design and assessment, the impact of technology, sustainability, global and multicultural issues, nonprofit communication, and best practices. As an interdisciplinary journal, BPCQ welcomes manuscripts that address a variety of theoretical, applied, and practical approaches and topics in the teaching and praxis of business, corporate, organizational, professional, or technical communication, including qualitative and quantitative research on classroom teaching or assessment, case studies of specific classroom techniques, reports on strategies for program development, innovative assignments or methodologies, and reviews of scholarship relevant to business and professional communication pedagogy. BPCQ especially welcomes manuscripts that address the principles of SoTL (scholarship of teaching and learning). BPCQ also publishes articles on a particular theme, for which a call may be announced on the ABC website: http://www.businesscommunication.org.
