Tackling the Challenges to Accomplish Arduous Tasks:The Influence Mechanism of Work Stress on the Research Output of Faculty at"Double World-Class"Universities and the Ways to Solve It
In order to relieve the work stress of faculty at"double world-class"universities and boost their innovation,this paper constructs a moderated mediation model of the relationship between faculty's work stress and research output based on Person-Environment Fit Theory and Two-Factor Theory.Using the survey data,the findings are as follows:Firstly,faculty at"double world-class"universities generally face high levels of work stress,which has a significant negative impact on research output.Secondly,both intrinsic job satisfaction and extrinsic job satisfaction play a mediating role in the relationship between work stress and publication and other types of research output;compared with intrinsic job satisfaction,extrinsic job satisfaction better explains the negative effect of work stress on research output.Thirdly,the internal mobility of the title system plays a moderating role in the negative impact of work stress on extrinsic job satisfaction,and has a greater impact on the quantity and quality of publication than on other types of research output.The aforementioned findings have some practical implications for human resources management at"double world-class"universities.
