Abstract

The present study mainly investigated the mediating role of job-related affective well-being between perceived supervisor support and work engagement among university academic staff. The job-related affective well-being were scored into two subscales, positive emotion and negative emotion. Selected using the simple random technique, a total of 110 academic staff of a public university, mean aged 42.63 years (SD = 8.51) completed a set of survey instrument which consisted of Survey of Perceived Supervisor Support Scale (Shanock & Eisenberger, 2006), Job-related Affective Well-Being Scale (Van Katwyk et al., 2000) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2003). Results showed that perceived supervisor support and both subscales of job-related affective well-being correlated significantly with work engagement. Findings indicated that both positive emotion and negative emotion of job-related affective well-being partially mediated the relationship between perceived supervisor support and work engagement. Hence, perceived supervisor support influenced the emotional states and in turn influenced work engagement. The findings of this study provide implications for a healthy relationship between supervisor and employee to elicit positive emotion and weaken negative emotion which in turn enhances work engagement for organization’s sustainability.

感知上司支持与工作投入:工作相关情感幸福感的中介作用

本研究主要调查了大学教职员工工作相关情感幸福感在导师支持感和工作投入感之间的中介作用。工作相关情感幸福感分为积极情绪和消极情绪两个分量表。采用简单随机技术，选取110名平均年龄42.63岁（SD=8.51）的公立大学教职员工，完成了一套由感知导师支持量表（Shanock&Eisenberger，2006）、工作相关情感幸福感量表（Van Katwyk et al.，2000）和乌得勒支工作参与量表（Schaufeli&Bakker，2003）组成的调查工具。结果显示，主管支持感和工作相关情感幸福感的两个分量表与工作投入显著相关。研究结果表明，与工作相关的情感幸福感的积极情绪和消极情绪在一定程度上介导了感知到的主管支持与工作投入之间的关系。因此，感知到的主管支持影响了情绪状态，进而影响了工作投入。这项研究的结果为主管和员工之间的健康关系提供了启示，以引发积极情绪并削弱消极情绪，从而提高组织可持续性的工作参与度。

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
