Abstract

Employees with a chronic disease are confronted with health problems, pain, and a limited energy reserve, which may hinder their day-to-day functioning at work. In the current study, we use proactive motivation and job demands-resources (JD-R) theories to hypothesize that chronically ill individuals may optimize their own well-being and work performance by using proactive vitality management (PVM). In Study 1, we tested our hypotheses through multigroup comparative analyses among a mixed sample of both healthy and chronically ill employees who participated in a weekly, three-wave study (T1 N = 399, M age = 45.18 (SD = 13.13), 48 % female). In Study 2, employees with a chronic liver disease were followed over the course of 2,5 years and filled out surveys at three points in time (T1 N = 192, M age = 48.73 (SD = 10.75), 72 % female). Findings from both studies were in line with our hypotheses. More specifically, consistent with JD-R theory's health impairment hypothesis, results showed that exhaustion mediated the relation between PVM and (a) functional limitations and (b) absenteeism. Consistent with JD-R's motivational hypothesis, work engagement mediated the relation between PVM and (a) creative work performance and (b) absenteeism. In addition, results of moderated mediation analyses indicated that these indirect effects were stronger for chronically ill employees with more (vs. less) self-insight – i.e., a developed understanding of one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These findings contribute to JD-R and proactive motivation theories and suggest that PVM is an important behavioral strategy that may protect chronically ill employees' occupational health and promote their performance, especially when combined with self-insight.

带着慢性病工作:积极主动的活力管理对职业健康和绩效的影响
患有慢性疾病的员工面临着健康问题、疼痛和有限的能量储备,这可能会妨碍他们在工作中的日常运作。在本研究中,我们运用积极主动的动机和工作需求-资源(JD-R)理论,假设慢性病患者可以通过积极主动的活力管理(PVM)来优化自身健康和工作表现。在研究 1 中,我们通过对参与每周三波研究的健康员工和慢性病员工的混合样本(T1 N = 399,M 年龄 = 45.18 (SD = 13.13),48 % 为女性)进行多组比较分析,检验了我们的假设。在研究 2 中,对患有慢性肝病的员工进行了为期 2.5 年的跟踪调查,并在三个时间点填写了调查问卷(T1 N = 192,M 年龄 = 48.73 (SD = 10.75),72 % 为女性)。两项研究的结果均符合我们的假设。更具体地说,与 JD-R 理论的健康损害假说一致,结果表明,疲惫在 PVM 与(a)功能限制和(b)旷工之间起中介作用。与 JD-R 理论的动机假设一致,工作投入在自 愿动机与(a)创造性工作表现和(b)旷工之间起中介作用。此外,调节性中介分析的结果表明,这些间接效应对自我洞察力较强(与较弱)的慢性病员工更强,即对自己的思想、情感和行为有深刻理解的员工。这些研究结果有助于JD-R和主动激励理论的发展,并表明PVM是一种重要的行为策略,可以保护慢性病员工的职业健康并促进其工作表现,尤其是在与自我洞察力相结合的情况下。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
