Abstract

The relationship between masculinity contest culture (MCC) and emotional exhaustion was examined with hypotheses informed by the job demands-resources model. Additionally, trait competitiveness and gender were considered as predictors within a three-way interaction model informed by social role theory. Hypotheses were tested using a two-timepoint survey with a sample of 494 full-time employed adults. Results indicate MCC relates to emotional exhaustion. Support is also provided for a three-way interaction between overall MCC, trait competitiveness, and gender with men with lower trait competitiveness displaying the strongest positive relationship. Overall, results suggest MCC operates as a stressor with the potential to harm psychological well-being and that the strength of this relationship varied based on gender and trait competitiveness. Specifically, higher trait competitiveness buffered relationships between MCC and exhaustion for men but intensified this relationship for women. Implications for employee well-being and disparate health outcomes across groups are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

男子气概竞赛文化：对谁有害？对情感衰竭的研究。

根据工作需求-资源模型提出的假设，研究了男性竞争文化（MCC）与情感衰竭之间的关系。此外，特质竞争力和性别也被视为社会角色理论三向互动模型中的预测因素。通过对 494 名全职就业成人样本进行两时点调查，对假设进行了检验。结果表明 MCC 与情感衰竭有关。总体 MCC、特质竞争力和性别之间的三方交互作用也得到了支持，其中特质竞争力较低的男性显示出最强的正相关关系。总之，研究结果表明，MCC 是一种有可能损害心理健康的压力源，这种关系的强度因性别和特质竞争力而异。具体来说，男性的特质竞争力越高，MCC 与疲惫之间的关系就越缓和，而女性的这种关系就越强烈。本文讨论了员工福利和不同群体间健康结果差异的影响。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, 版权所有）。
