Abstract

Background and objectives: The potential detrimental effects of commuting stress have gradually attracted scholars' interest in recent years. Going beyond the perspectives of prior studies (e.g., conservation of resources theory), this study offers a new explanatory framework for the relationship between employees' commuting stress and turnover intention based on the transactional theory of stress. Specifically, this study aims to investigate the mediating effect of hindrance appraisal and the moderating effect of trait mindfulness.

Design and method: To test the hypotheses, we collected two-wave data from 243 employees working in various Chinese firms. Path analysis was used for the analysis.

Results: The findings demonstrated that hindrance appraisal mediated the positive relationship between commuting stress and turnover intention. In addition, trait mindfulness buffered the relationship between commuting stress and turnover intention as well as the indirect effect of hindrance appraisal on this relationship.

Conclusions: The findings highlight the stressor appraisal mechanism in the association between commuting stress and turnover intention and identify trait mindfulness as a key coping mechanism for reducing commuting stress.

公共通勤压力如何促进员工离职意向：从压力的交易理论角度进行研究。

背景和目的：近年来，通勤压力的潜在不利影响逐渐引起了学者们的关注。本研究超越了以往研究的视角（如资源保护理论），以压力的交易理论为基础，为员工通勤压力与离职意向之间的关系提供了一个新的解释框架。具体而言，本研究旨在探讨阻碍评价的中介效应和特质正念的调节效应：为了验证假设，我们收集了 243 名在中国不同企业工作的员工的两波数据。结果：研究结果表明，阻碍性评价与正念的调节作用是互为因果的：结果表明，阻碍评价在通勤压力和离职意向之间起到了正向调节作用。此外，特质正念缓冲了通勤压力与离职意向之间的关系以及阻碍评价对这一关系的间接影响：研究结果强调了通勤压力与离职意向之间的压力评价机制，并指出特质正念是减轻通勤压力的关键应对机制。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
