Abstract

This study uses the Conservation of Resources Theory to understand whether intolerance of uncertainty leads to reduced personal accomplishment based on the work ability and thriving at work of employees. Besides intolerance of uncertainty directly affecting personal accomplishment, it also affects it through the mediating roles of employees’ work ability and thriving at work. The research model was tested using three-wave, time-lagged data from 278 employees. The findings confirm that intolerance of uncertainty leads to reduced personal accomplishment. Additionally, the results showed that work ability and thriving at work partially mediated this relationship. Further analysis suggests that both work ability and thriving at work act as parallel mediators in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and reduced personal accomplishment, and that there is no statistically significant difference between them. Therefore, intolerance of uncertainty presents a challenge to important issues that drive employees, such as ability, development, and success.

请消除不确定性！否则，我将无法做到…！对不确定性的不容忍是对个人成就的威胁：工作能力和工作成功的作用

本研究使用资源守恒理论来理解对不确定性的不容忍是否会导致员工工作能力和工作中的成就感下降。除了对不确定性的不容忍直接影响个人成就外，它还通过员工工作能力和在工作中茁壮成长的中介作用影响个人成就。该研究模型使用278名员工的三波时间滞后数据进行了测试。研究结果证实，对不确定性的不容忍会降低个人成就感。此外，研究结果表明，工作能力和工作中的成功在一定程度上调节了这种关系。进一步的分析表明，在不容忍不确定性和个人成就感下降之间的关系中，工作能力和在工作中表现出色是平行的中介，两者之间没有统计学上的显著差异。因此，对不确定性的不容忍对推动员工的能力、发展和成功等重要问题提出了挑战。

期刊介绍： Business Perspectives and Research (BPR) aims to publish conceptual, empirical and applied research. The empirical research published in BPR focuses on testing, extending and building management theory. The goal is to expand and enhance the understanding of business and management through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis. BPR is also a platform for insightful and theoretically strong conceptual and review papers which would contribute to the body of knowledge. BPR seeks to advance the understanding of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations through empirical and conceptual work. It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
