Abstract

This study draws on the conservation of resources theory to explore the role of altruistic behavior in resource gain and loss spirals and the association between particular genetic markers and these spirals. Using experience sampling data and genetic analysis, we found that positive affect (T1) was directly associated with altruistic behavior. A payoff of increased positive affect resulted from such behavior (T2). Individuals who started work with an elevated level of fatigue (T1) engaged in less altruistic behavior and became more fatigued (T2). Altruistic behavior mediated the positive affect/fatigue at T1 and T2. Hence, altruistic behavior may promote a resource gain spiral by enhancing positive affect resources. Furthermore, it buffers against a resource loss spiral by preventing increased fatigue. Moreover, genetic testing showed that the 2R carriers of the DRD4 polymorphism would respond with stronger positive affect and less fatigue after performing altruistic behaviors compared to non-2R carriers. Therefore, our research revealed the moderating role of individual differences in the relationship between altruistic behavior and resource gain and loss spirals.

利他行为和DRD4在资源获得和资源损失螺旋中的遗传影响

本研究借鉴资源保护理论，探讨利他行为在资源盈亏螺旋中的作用，以及特定遗传标记与这些螺旋之间的关联。通过经验取样数据和基因分析，我们发现积极情绪（T1）与利他行为直接相关。这种行为会带来积极情绪增加的回报（T2）。开始工作时疲劳程度较高（T1）的人参与利他行为的程度较低，而疲劳程度较高（T2）的人参与利他行为的程度较高。利他行为对 T1 和 T2 阶段的积极情绪/疲劳起到了中介作用。因此，利他行为可能会通过增强积极情绪资源来促进资源增益螺旋。此外，利他行为还能通过防止疲劳加剧来缓冲资源损失螺旋。此外，基因测试表明，与非 2R 携带者相比，DRD4 多态性的 2R 携带者在做出利他行为后会有更强的积极情绪和更少的疲劳感。因此，我们的研究揭示了个体差异在利他行为与资源损益螺旋关系中的调节作用。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
