Several studies have underlined how chronic exposure to environmental noise may have negative effects on performance, wellbeing, and social relations. The present study ( = 90 employees of a motor factory who are chronically exposed to environmental noise) investigated whether the negative effects of chronic exposure of noise-sensitive individuals to noise in the workplace may be moderated by the need for cognitive closure (i.e., an epistemic tendency to reduce uncertainty; NFCC, Kruglanski, 2004). As NFCC has been shown to enhance protection of the focal goal by reducing interference (Kossowska, 2007; Pica et al., 2013), we hypothesized that people with high NFCC should be able to manage the interference coming from environmental noise and concentrate on their tasks more than their low-NFCC counterparts. The results confirm that the negative effects of noise sensitivity on job satisfaction, state anxiety, and turnover intent were higher among low (vs. high)-NFCC individuals.
多项研究强调了长期暴露于环境噪声可能对工作表现、幸福感和社会关系产生负面影响。本研究（对象为一家汽车工厂的90名长期暴露于环境噪声中的员工）调查了对噪声敏感的个体在工作场所长期暴露于噪声的负面影响是否会因认知闭合需求（即一种减少不确定性的认知倾向；NFCC，克鲁格兰斯基，2004年）而得到缓解。由于已有研究表明认知闭合需求通过减少干扰来增强对核心目标的保护（科索夫斯卡，2007年；皮卡等人，2013年），我们假设高认知闭合需求的人应该比低认知闭合需求的人更能应对来自环境噪声的干扰并专注于他们的任务。结果证实，在低（与高）认知闭合需求的个体中，噪声敏感性对工作满意度、状态焦虑和离职意图的负面影响更大。
