Perceived prosocial impact, perceived situational constraints, and proactive work behavior: Looking at two distinct affective pathways
研究通过日常调查数据发现，感知的亲社会影响通过积极情感促进主动行为的实施，而情境约束通过消极情感促进问题识别，表明积极和消极情感对主动工作行为的不同部分都有益。
This paper examines the role of affect as a linking mechanism between experiences at work (perceived prosocial impact and situational constraints) and two distinct components of proactive work behavior (issue identification and implementation). Based on a dual-tuning perspective, we argue that both positive affect and negative affect can be beneficial for proactive work behavior. Multi-level path analysis using daily-survey data from 153 employees showed that perceived prosocial impact predicted positive affect and that situational constraints as a typical hindrance stressor predicted negative affect. Negative affect, in turn, predicted issue identification, and positive affect predicted implementation. Overall, our study suggests that both positive and negative affects can be valuable in the organizational context by contributing to distinct components of proactive behavior.
