WORKPLACE ENGAGEMENT AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIVATION

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 先前的研究表明，员工敬业度以及其他积极的情绪状态与员工的幸福感和生产力有关（Lyubormirsky等人，2005年，Harter等人，2002年）。此外，越来越多的研究表明，积极的影响与减少症状报告有关，增加疼痛耐受性（Pressman & Cohen 2005），以及减少对压力源的皮质醇产生。 此外，最近的研究表明，积极的情绪可能会抵消消极情绪对心率的影响（Shapiro等人，2001年）。 本研究旨在探讨盖洛普Q12员工敬业度量表与心率、皮质醇以及情绪、症状报告和感知压力之间的关系。 这项研究还试图将使用日内日记收集的日常活动，情绪，压力，疼痛和参与的自我报告与使用日重建方法（DRM）收集的信息进行比较。 本研究的另一个目的是检查心率和皮质醇以及压力和情绪测量的工作日/周末差异的模式。最后，本研究旨在研究心率和皮质醇与情绪和感知压力之间的关系。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Previous research has suggested that employee engagement as well as other positive mood states are related to the well being and productivity of employees (Lyubormirsky et al. 2005, Harter et al., 2002). Additionally, a growing body of research has indicated that positive affect is related to decreased symptom reporting, and increased pain tolerance (Pressman & Cohen 2005), as well as decreased cortisol production in response to stressors. Furthermore, recent research has suggested that positive moods might counter the effect of negative moods on heart rate (Shapiro et al., 2001). This study aims to investigate how the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement scale is associated with heart rate and cortisol as well as affect, symptom reporting and perceived stress. This study also seeks to compare the self report of daily activities, mood, stress, pain and engagement collected using within-day diaries to the information collected using the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM), a one-day diary. An additional aim of this study is to examine pattern of weekday/weekend differences on heart rate and cortisol as well as measures of stress and mood. Lastly, this study seeks to examine within day associations between heart rate and cortisol and mood and perceived stress.
