Linking Nonwork Stressors to Work Outcomes via Negative Mood and Event Appraisals

  • Description:
    Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between non-work related stressors (e.g. marital and financial) and work outcomes as mediated by the individual's mood. Borrowing from concepts of the Affective Events Theory (Weiss & Cropanzano, 1996) and the Spillover Hypothesis (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000), it is suggested that negative mood at home (created by nonwork stressors) will transfer to the work domain where it will cause the employee to appraise various work events more negatively. These appraisals will contribute to a negative mood experienced at work which in turn will influence job satisfaction and performance dimensions. Lastly, social support is hypothesized to moderate this model by reducing chance of negative mood from home spilling over into the work domain. Methods: Data collection of married, working adults who are head or co-head of their own households is currently in progress. Those who choose to participate are asked to complete a survey consisting of nonwork stressors, mood at home and at work, appraisals of work events and various work outcomes. In addition, their immediate supervisors are asked to complete measures of the employee participants' job performance. Results: Data has not yet been analyzed, but will be done through correlational analyses and structural equation modeling. Conclusion: If hypotheses are supported, this research is expected to expand upon previous research linking the work and non-work domains (especially with regard to the effects of negative mood). Additionally, it could have implications for areas such as employee assistance programs at work that deal with stress monitoring and coping as well as financial management (Garman, Leach & Grable, 1996; Sulsky & Smith, 2005).
