Abstract

Research on mitigating the negative effects of project work on project workers is scarce. This study analyzes the roles of psychological capital as an individual factor and coworker and family support as environmental factors in reducing the negative effects of project work. Building on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, the influence of these factors on the relationships between subjective stress, job burnout, and individual job performance is examined. The research model is empirically tested using data from a sample of 304 project workers. The results show that coworker and family support are positively associated with psychological capital. Additionally, psychological capital mediates the effects of social resources on subjective stress, which can lead to job burnout and poor work performance. Thus, coworker and family support and psychological capital can mitigate stress, job burnout, and their negative consequences.
减轻项目工作的消极方面:心理资本与同事和家庭支持的作用
减轻项目工作对项目工作者的负面影响的研究很少。本研究分析了心理资本作为个体因素,同事和家庭支持作为环境因素在减少项目工作负面影响中的作用。基于工作需求-资源模型和资源守恒理论,考察了这些因素对主观压力、工作倦怠和个人工作绩效之间关系的影响。利用304名工程人员的样本数据对研究模型进行了实证检验。结果表明,同事支持和家庭支持与心理资本呈正相关。此外,心理资本介导社会资源对主观压力的影响,从而导致工作倦怠和工作绩效不佳。因此,同事和家庭的支持以及心理资本可以减轻压力、工作倦怠及其负面影响。
