The role of appraisals and emotions in understanding experiences of workplace incivility.
本研究基于情绪认知理论和情感事件理论，通过调查522名美国在职成年人，发现个体对职场不文明行为的认知和情绪反应存在差异，且乐观和情绪性解释了不文明经历与工作结果的关系。
Theoretically grounded in both the cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotions and affect events theory, the present research used multiple analytic techniques and positioned appraisals and emotions as key variables in understanding the experience of incivility at work. Data consisted of survey responses from a stratified random sample of 522 U.S. working adults. K-means cluster analyses revealed interindividual differences in cognitive/emotional responding to workplace incivility experiences. In addition, multiple mediation analyses revealed that optimism and emotionality may play important roles in showing why the experience of incivility is related to job-related outcomes. The results help to advance workplace mistreatment research and suggest possible strategies for organizations to maintain civil working environments.
