Abstract
Occupational stigma is often viewed as challenging. Though researchers have proposed several coping strategies, empirical testing on their effectiveness is still insufficient. Focusing on occupational stigma’s negative social evaluation challenges and based on compassion theory, we propose that self-compassion can prompt individuals to craft their stigmatized job cognitively. Specifically, for individuals with higher self-compassion, the negative influence of occupational stigma on cognitive crafting will be weaker. Further, cognitive crafting is positively related to job engagement. Results from a time-lagged field study with 284 employees and their paired 99 leaders supported our hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include:
Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries.
Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region.
Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
Official affiliation - Asia Academy of ManagementFor more information, visit the AAOM website:www.baf.cuhk.edu.hk/asia-aom/ Officially cited as: Asia Pac J Manag
