Abstract

This study examines how employees utilize resources in a psychologically safe environment, as well as how the presence of techno-stressors affects resource conservation. Drawing on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we developed and tested a model for how techno-stressors moderate the relationships between psychological safety and both psychological (i.e., future work self) and behavioral (i.e., social and structural job crafting) outcomes. Results indicated that psychological safety was positively related to social job crafting. Techno-invasion moderated the relationship between psychological safety and future work self, while techno-overload moderated the relationship between psychological safety and structural job crafting. Post hoc analyses unveiled a three-way interaction effect on social job crafting that involved psychological safety, techno-overload, and gender. The findings offer insights into how employees manage techno-stressors in resource-rich environments, providing implications for both research and practice in organizational settings.

心理安全、工作构思与未来工作自我：技术压力源的调节作用

本研究考察了员工在心理安全环境中如何利用资源，以及技术压力源的存在如何影响资源节约。利用资源保护（COR）理论，我们开发并测试了一个模型，用于技术压力源如何调节心理安全与心理（即未来工作自我）和行为（即社会和结构工作制作）结果之间的关系。结果表明，心理安全与社会工作制作呈正相关。技术入侵调节了心理安全与未来工作自我的关系，而技术超载调节了心理安全与结构性工作制作的关系。事后分析揭示了对社会工作形成的三种互动效应，包括心理安全、技术超载和性别。这些发现为员工如何在资源丰富的环境中管理技术压力源提供了见解，为组织环境中的研究和实践提供了启示。
