The Moderating Role of Positive Affectivity: Empirical Evidence from Bank Employees in the United Arab Emirates
研究基于阿联酋商业银行员工调查数据，发现积极情感特质会调节工作满意度与挫折感及离职意向的关系，高积极情感者中工作满意度对负面态度的缓解作用更强。
In this study, we proposed and tested an interaction between positive affectivity (PA) and job satisfaction in predicting two organizationally relevant job attitudes, frustration and intention to quit. Specifically, we predicted that job satisfaction would be strongly and negatively related to frustration and intention to quit among high-PA, but not low-PA, individuals. The predictions were tested using survey data from commercial bank employees (N = 172) in the United Arab Emirates. Hierarchical regressions supported the hypothesized interactions for both dependent variables. The results contribute to the evidence that high-PA can be associated with generally unfavorable organizational outcomes in certain situations, and they point to the stability of dispositional research in different cultures.
