: Township cadres, considered as basic executors of state policy, play an important role in Chinese society. Their job satisfaction is a vital issue for township management, but there are few studies on this topic in China. The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction, and to further examine whether psychological capital (PsyCap) can serve as a mediator between stress and job satisfaction in Chinese township cadres. : A cross-sectional survey was carried out during the period of from October 2015 to January 2016 in Liaoning Province of China. The questionnaires, which consisted of an effort-reward imbalance scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) for job satisfaction, and the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ-24), as well as questions about demographic characteristics, were distributed to 1800 township cadres and complete responses were received from 1525 participants. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the role that psychological capital played in mediating between occupational stress and job satisfaction. : In the present study, effort-reward ratio (ERR= 11 × effort/6 × reward) was negatively associated with job satisfaction (r = -0.372, < 0.001), whereas psychological capital was positively associated with job satisfaction in township cadres (r = 0.587, < 0.001) from a specific province in China. Psychological capital is a mediator between the association of job stress and job satisfaction. : Psychological capital partially mediated the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction among Chinese township cadres. Interventions to improve Chinese township cadres' job satisfaction should be developed in the future, especially the enhancement of PsyCap. Interventions need to be verified in further cohort studies. At present, we are only proposing a theoretical model. Intervention effects need to be validated in further cohort studies.
乡镇干部作为国家政策的基层执行者，在中国社会中发挥着重要作用。他们的工作满意度是乡镇管理中的一个关键问题，但中国在这一主题上的研究较少。本研究的目的是分析职业压力与工作满意度之间的关系，并进一步探讨心理资本是否能在中国乡镇干部的压力与工作满意度之间起到中介作用。：2015年10月至2016年1月期间在中国辽宁省进行了一项横断面调查。问卷包括努力-回报失衡量表、明尼苏达工作满意度问卷（MSQ）、心理资本问卷（PCQ-24）以及关于人口统计学特征的问题，共发放给1800名乡镇干部，收到1525名参与者的完整回复。采用结构方程模型来检验心理资本在职业压力与工作满意度之间所起的中介作用。：在本研究中，努力-回报比（ERR = 11×努力/6×回报）与工作满意度呈负相关（r = -0.372，P < 0.001），而在中国某一特定省份的乡镇干部中，心理资本与工作满意度呈正相关（r = 0.587，P < 0.001）。心理资本是工作压力与工作满意度之间关系的中介。：心理资本部分中介了中国乡镇干部工作压力与工作满意度之间的关系。未来应制定提高中国乡镇干部工作满意度的干预措施，尤其是增强心理资本。干预措施需要在进一步的队列研究中进行验证。目前，我们只是提出一个理论模型。干预效果需要在进一步的队列研究中得到验证。
