Abstract

Although PO fit has its origins in the work stress literature, existing research has failed to explain the stress-protective qualities of PO fit. In this research note, we aim to clarify the negative relationship between PO fit and exhaustion and cynicism, two key symptoms of burnout, using a three-wave panel lagged design (N = 193). Specifically, we argue that PO fit fosters a work environment that cultivates organizational trust, which, in turn, helps reduce symptoms of burnout. In addition, we suggest that job crafting towards interests and strengths makes PO fit more effective in containing burnout symptoms. Our results provide evidence for the mediating role of organizational trust in the relationship between PO fit and both exhaustion and cynicism symptoms of burnout. In addition, we find evidence that job crafting based on interests (but not strengths) influences the effectiveness of PO fit in reducing exhaustion (but not cynicism).

个人与组织契合度通过组织信任降低职业倦怠：工作塑造的调节作用

虽然PO契合在工作压力文献中有其起源，但现有的研究未能解释PO契合的压力保护特性。在本研究报告中，我们旨在利用三波面板滞后设计（N = 193）来澄清PO适合度与倦怠和玩世之间的负相关关系，这是倦怠的两个关键症状。具体而言，我们认为，组织契合度营造了一种培养组织信任的工作环境，这反过来又有助于减少倦怠症状。此外，我们建议根据兴趣和优势制定工作，使PO适合更有效地遏制倦怠症状。我们的研究结果为组织信任在工作适应度与倦怠和玩世不恭症状之间的中介作用提供了证据。此外，我们发现有证据表明，基于兴趣（而不是优势）的工作制定影响了PO契合在减少疲劳（而不是愤世嫉俗）方面的有效性。
