Career calling in the work stress process: a conceptual and review analysis
本文综述了16项定量和5项定性研究,分析工作使命感在工作压力过程中作为预测变量、调节变量或中介变量的不同角色,发现尚无明确共识,并为未来研究提出方向。
This article presents a conceptual and review analysis of the roles of career-/work-related calling in the work stress process. Theoretical foundations are the process models of calling and work stress, proposing that calling may play different roles in the work stress process. Altogether, we identified 16 quantitative and five qualitative studies exploring the associations/interplay between calling, job demands/stressors, and stress outcomes. The findings revealed no clear consensus on the roles of calling in the work stress process. In previous studies, calling has been explored as a predictor, moderator, and mediator in quantitative studies. Furthermore, calling has also played various roles in qualitative studies. We critically evaluate these earlier findings and propose avenues for future research to explore the roles of calling in the work stress process.
