Abstract

Death awareness in the military context has received little research attention despite the high exposure of military employees to death. Drawing on Terror Management Theory (TMT), Meaning Management Theory (MMT), and Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), this study investigated the impact of death anxiety on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) and counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) through meaningful work (MW). It also investigated the moderating role of type of profession (military vs. non-military) and death reflection on the relationship between death anxiety, on one hand, and OCB and CWB, on the other hand. Data were collected through self-reports from 177 employees from an Air Force military organization (N = 81) as well as non-military professions (N = 96) using a time-lagged research design. The most obvious finding was the positive relationship between meaningful work and OCB. Our data did not provide empirical support for the other hypotheses developed. The implications of these findings are presented and future research directions are proposed.

军人和非军人死亡焦虑与角色外表现的预测研究

尽管军队雇员的死亡风险很高，但军事背景下的死亡意识很少受到研究关注。本研究借鉴恐怖管理理论（TMT）、意义管理理论（MMT）和资源保护理论（COR），通过有意义的工作（MW），研究了死亡焦虑对组织公民行为（OCB）和反作用工作行为（CWB）的影响。它还调查了职业类型（军人与非军人）和死亡反思对死亡焦虑与OCB和CWB之间关系的调节作用。数据是通过自我报告收集的，来自空军军事组织（N=81）和非军事职业（N=96）的177名员工使用时滞研究设计。最明显的发现是有意义的工作与强迫症之间存在正相关关系。我们的数据没有为其他假设提供实证支持。介绍了这些发现的含义，并提出了未来的研究方向。
