最近对工作压力的研究表明，压力对个人或组织来说并不总是有害的。然而，这一领域的研究还没有研究各种工作成果，压力导致这些成果的机制，以及这种影响的调节因素。本研究假设，两种类型的报告压力（挑战和障碍有关）有一个不同的关系与工作成果（有关理想和不理想的结果，分别）和类似的（积极的）关系与心理压力。我们还假设感受到的挑战作为一种机制，通过挑战压力与理想的结果和工作控制的效果作为调节剂。结果从异质样本的大学工作人员（N = 461）支持许多假设。这两种类型的压力差异相关的工作成果，但都呈正相关的心理紧张。此外，挑战感受在挑战相关压力与工作结果之间起中介作用，但挑战相关压力的作用不依赖于工作控制。(C)2003 Elsevier Science（美国）。All rights reserved.
Recent research on reported work stress indicates stress may not always be deleterious for an individual or organization. Research in this area, however, has not yet examined a variety of work outcomes, the mechanism by which stress leads to such outcomes, and the moderators of this effect. The present study hypothesized that two types of reported stress (challenge- and hindrance-related) have a divergent relationship with work outcomes (relating to desirable and undesirable outcomes, respectively) and a similar (positive) relationship with psychological strain. We also hypothesize felt challenge as a mechanism through which challenge stress relates to desirable outcomes and job control as a moderator of the effect. Results from a heterogeneous sample of university staff employees (N = 461) supported many of the hypotheses. The two types of stress differentially related to work outcomes yet both positively related to psychological strain. In addition, felt challenge mediated the relationship between challenge-related stress and work outcomes, yet the effect of challenge-related stress did not depend on job control.
