Abstract

This study pays attention to within-person fluctuations in meaningful work and its antecedents and consequences. Considering self- and other-oriented dimensions as crucial pathways to meaningful work, effects of daily perceived autonomy support and prosocial impact on one's meaningful work were examined. A daily diary study was conducted in which 86 nurses from varied hospitals reported their work experiences for 10 consecutive workdays (860 occasions). Results of multilevel modeling showed that both day-level perceived autonomy support and prosocial impact were positively related to day-level meaningful work, which served as the mediator between them and work engagement. Prosocial orientation strengthened the positive relationship between day-level perceived prosocial impact and day-level meaningful work. However, autonomy orientation negatively moderated the effect of day-level perceived autonomy support on day-level meaningful work, suggesting the necessity to distinguish between assisted and asserted autonomy orientation. Our findings illustrate the transient and dynamic nature of meaningful work and provide empirical evidences linking suggested managerial practices to employees' meaningful work.

自主性支持和亲社会影响促进有意义的工作：一项日常日记研究。

本研究关注有意义工作中的人内波动及其前因和后果。考虑到自我和其他定向维度是完成有意义工作的关键途径，研究了日常感知的自主支持和亲社会影响对一个人有意义的工作的影响。进行了一项每日日记研究，来自不同医院的86名护士连续10个工作日（860次）报告了他们的工作经历。多层次建模结果表明，日水平的感知自主支持和亲社会影响与日水平的有意义工作呈正相关，这是它们与工作投入之间的中介。亲社会取向强化了日常感知的亲社会影响与日常有意义工作之间的正向关系。然而，自主取向消极地调节了日常感知的自主支持对日常有意义工作的影响，这表明有必要区分辅助自主取向和断言自主取向。我们的研究结果说明了有意义工作的瞬态和动态性质，并提供了将建议的管理实践与员工有意义工作联系起来的经验证据。

期刊介绍： Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior. Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion. Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles. However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make. Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.
