Colleagues'Extra Effort,Employees'Performance Goal Orientation and Work Outcomes:The Moderating Role of Organization-based Self-esteem
Colleagues'extra effort is an important factor in triggering workplace social comparisons and influencing employee behavior and attitudes.Based on social comparison theory and from the perspective of others,the research methods of scenario experiments and two-point questionnaire survey were used to explores the mechanism of the effect of colleagues'extra effort on employee performance goal orientation,work engagement,and job burnout.The results show that colleagues'extra effort affects employees'performance-approach goal orientation and performance-avoidance goal orientation,thereby affecting work engagement and job burnout.For employees with higher organization-based self-esteem,colleagues'extra effort tend to activate performance-approach goal orientation,suppress performance-avoidance goal orientation,and thereby increase work engagement and alleviate job burnout.
