The present study investigates the role of boredom within the Job Demands-Resources model. Although empirical evidence suggests that the incidence of boredom at work is widespread, the study of job boredom remains neglected today.
Data were collected from 269 mass-retail workers, by means of structured face-to-face interviews.
Results of multiple mediation analyses partially supported our hypotheses.
Boredom mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, low learning opportunities and general dysphoria, while work engagement mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, low learning opportunities and job satisfaction as well as general dysphoria.
Taken together, our results confirm the suitability of conceptualizing boredom within the JD-R model and contribute to the ongoing conceptualization of both the boredom literature and the JD-R literature.
本研究探讨无聊在工作需求-资源模型中的作用。尽管实证证据表明工作中无聊现象普遍存在，但如今对工作无聊感的研究仍被忽视。
通过结构化面对面访谈从269名大型零售员工中收集数据。
多重中介分析结果部分支持了我们的假设。
无聊感在变革型领导、低学习机会与总体烦躁情绪之间起中介作用，而工作投入在变革型领导、低学习机会与工作满意度以及总体烦躁情绪之间起中介作用。
综合来看，我们的结果证实了在工作需求-资源模型中对无聊感进行概念化的适用性，并为无聊感文献和工作需求-资源文献的持续概念化做出了贡献。
