A Research into the Mechanism of Job Stress'Influence on Employees'Wellbeing from the Perspective of Cognitive Evaluation—The Role of Work-related Rumination and Trait Mindfulness
Drawing on the transaction theory of stress and perseverative cognition model,this paper introduces work-related rumination and trait mindfulness as intermediate variables.Based on 385 longitudinal questionnaire data analysis,this study finds the following re-sults.Individuals will have challenge,hindrance and threat appraisal on stressors.Challenging stressors mainly lead to challenge apprais-al,and hindrance stressors mainly lead to threat appraisal.Challenge appraisal positively predicts problem-solving pondering,while hin-drance and threat appraisal positively predict affective rumination.The chain mediating relationship of"stressor→cognitive appraisal→perseverative cognition → wellbeing"is established.Trait mindfulness enhances individuals'positive appraisal of challenging stressors and weakens individuals'negative appraisal of such stressors,but the cognitive appraisal of hindrance stressors is not affected by mind-fulness.Mindfulness can transform individuals'positive appraisal of stressors into positive perseverative cognition,and slow down indi-viduals'negative appraisal of stressors into negative perseverative cognition,which is ultimately conducive to improving wellbeing.The study reveals the complex mechanism of work stress'influence on employees'wellbeing,and provides inspiration for managers to formu-late targeted stress management strategies.
