Abstract

Purpose This study aims to create a more humane and responsible workplace, individuals’ gratitude and meaningfulness seem of utmost importance. This study is an effort to understand the role of gratitude intent of potential managers. Design/methodology/approach This study examines the psychological characteristic of business students in India. The researchers surveyed 333 Indian students as future managers. The collected data has been analysed with the Smart PLS 3 version to assess the formative-reflective scale by comparing model fit, measurement model and structural modelling. Findings The results establish that gratitude significantly affects the life satisfaction of future managers. Findings also show that materialism is negatively related to life satisfaction and meaningfulness. The importance–performance map analysis finding suggests that meaningfulness in life is a potential indicator of life satisfaction for the population studied. Originality/value Due to the limited research available on the psychological underpinnings in the Indian context, there is a massive value in examining how materialism and gratitude concurrently and distinctively predict meaning in life and the life satisfaction of future managers. This paper gives a formative explanation of the model consisted gratitude, materialism and meaningfulness in life on the life satisfaction of future managers. This study establishes the importance of meaningfulness of life in attaining life satisfaction for young managers.

通过IPMA评估物质主义和感恩在生活满意度中的作用:生活意义的中介作用
目的本研究旨在创造一个更加人性化和负责任的工作场所,个人的感恩和意义似乎至关重要。本研究旨在了解潜在管理者感恩意图的作用。设计/方法论/方法本研究考察了印度商科学生的心理特征。研究人员调查了333名作为未来管理者的印度学生。使用Smart PLS 3版本对收集的数据进行了分析,通过比较模型拟合、测量模型和结构建模来评估形成性反射量表。研究结果表明,感恩对未来管理者的生活满意度有显著影响。研究结果还表明,物质主义与生活满意度和意义呈负相关。重要性-绩效图分析结果表明,生活的意义是所研究人群生活满意度的潜在指标。独创性/价值由于在印度背景下对心理基础的研究有限,研究物质主义和感恩如何同时且独特地预测未来管理者的生活意义和生活满意度具有巨大价值。本文对感恩、物质主义和生活意义构成的未来管理者生活满意度模型进行了形成性解释。这项研究确立了生活意义在年轻管理者获得生活满意度方面的重要性。
