Papel da dark tetrad na Teoria Exigências-Recursos

Abstract

Esta investigação explorou o papel da dark tetrad na teoria Job Demands-Resources, testando o seu efeito moderador na relação entre as exigências laborais (conflitos interpessoais) e os recursos laborais (suporte social das chefias), e o job crafting, e como é que a dark tetrad se relaciona com o engagement no trabalho e a exaustão emocional. Esta investigação de natureza quantitativa e transversal, recorreu a uma amostra de 435 participantes portugueses em situação laboral ativa. Os resultados demonstraram uma associação positiva entre o suporte social das chefias e o bright job crafting, tal como entre o bright job crafting e o engagement no trabalho. Verificou-se uma relação negativa entre o bright job crafting e a exaustão emocional. Não se observaram efeitos moderadores estatisticamente significativos da dark tetrad. Estes resultados têm impacto no contexto organizacional e na promoção do bem-estar; - The Role of Dark Tetrad in the Job Demands-Resources Theory Abstract: The objective of this study was to explore the role of the dark tetrad in the Job Demands-Resources theory, testing its moderating effect on the relationship between job demands (interpersonal conflicts) and job resources (social support from supervisors), and job crafting, as well as how the dark tetrad relates to work engagement and emotional exhaustion. This quantitative, cross-sectional study was based on a sample of 435 portuguese participants currently employed. The results demonstrated a positive association between social support from supervisors and bright job crafting, as well as between bright job crafting and work engagement. A negative relationship was found between bright job crafting and emotional exhaustion. No statistically significant moderating effects of the dark tetrad were found. These results have implications for the organizational context and the promotion of well-being.
