正念干预对员工自我损耗及其后效的影响:基于ESM的现场研究

The Effects of Mindfulness-based Training Intervention on Employees’Ego Depletion and Work Engagement:A Field Experiment Based on ESM

企业中员工的自我损耗现象十分普遍,且会给组织带来一系列的消极影响。因此,寻找一种有效降低员工日常自我损耗的干预方式是紧迫而重要的。目前,学者们多通过自我控制任务的反复练习来降低个体自我损耗程度,而这些干预方式多处于实验室实验阶段,缺乏外部效度,并且干预效果存在着很多的争议。基于自我控制力量模型,运用体验式取样法,本文探索了正念干预对员工自我损耗及其后效(工作投入)的影响。研究结果表明:正念干预可以降低员工的自我损耗水平,进而提高员工的工作投入水平,而工作控制在这一过程中起到调节作用,即当工作控制程度较高时,正念干预通过降低自我损耗产生的对工作投入的正面影响显著;而当工作控制程度较低时,正念干预通过降低自我损耗产生的对工作投入的正面影响不显著。

Employee ego depletion is a highly prevalent phenomenon in the organizations,which may cause substantial negative influences on organizations.Thus,it is important and urgent to find an effective intervention to help employees reduce their daily ego depletion.Currently,researchers usually prevent individuals from ego depletion using regular trainings on self-control tasks in a specific domain.These trainings are mostly laboratory experiments that lack of external validity and that still have controversies over the intervention effectiveness.Drawing upon the strength model of self-control,employing experienced sampling methods,we probe the influences of mindfulness-based training on ego depletion and its aftereffect(i.e.,work engagement).Our results reveal that mindfulness-based training intervention indirectly enhances employees’work engagement via reducing ego depletion.In addition,job control moderates the positive indirect effect of mindfulness-based intervention on work engagement via ego depletion:when job control is high,the positive and indirect effect of mindfulness-based intervention on work engagement via ego depletion is significant,whereas when job control is low,the positive and indirect effect is not significant.
