摘要: 差错是员工偏离工作目标、工作流程或工作标准的行为。犯错后,员工常倾向于掩盖而非揭露差错。由此,将差错视为个体工作中的秘密。基于秘密分享框架,提出差错汇报会降低汇报者基于差错的焦虑和反刍,从而提升其积极心理状态;结合差错文献,进一步提出差错严重性影响上述关系。通过问卷调研(N1=449)和实验设计(N2=120),研究验证了上述主要假设:差错汇报降低了汇报者基于差错的焦虑和反刍;基于差错的反刍中介了差错汇报与汇报者积极心理状态间的正向关系;差错严重性强化了上述直接和间接效应,使得上述关系在高差错严重性下更强。该研究对组织中差错汇报研究具有重要理论和实践意义。

Abstract: Errors are defined as employees' deviations from work goals or standards; after error commission, employees are more likely to hide than to reveal their personal errors. As such, our study treats errors as workplace secrets. Applying the secret revealing framework, we propose that error reporting can reduce employees' error-related anxiety and rumination, which can ultimately enhance their psychological well-beings. Furthermore, with the incorporation of error literature, we propose that error severity works as the boundary condition to affect the above relationships. We test our hypotheses with a field study (N1=449) and an experimental design (N2=120). Results show that error reporting is negatively related to error-related anxiety and rumination; error reporting is positively related with psychological well-being via the reduction of error-related rumination; error severity moderates the above direct and indirect effects to make the relationships stronger under high error severity. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
