With a substantial body of research supporting the critical role of positive affect in improving work outcomes and enhancing career success, investigating the factors that facilitate emotion regulation strategies for fostering positive affect becomes an important research question. In this context, our study explores the association between strong creative self-efficacy and high cognitive reappraisal-an established and potent emotion regulation strategy known to increase positive affect. We propose a model wherein high levels of creative self-efficacy lead to a tendency for cognitive reappraisal, resulting in high levels of positive affect that ultimately contribute to greater career satisfaction. Our investigation, conducted with a sample of 550 adults in South Korea, examines the indirect relationship between creative self-efficacy and career satisfaction through cognitive reappraisal and, in turn, positive affect. Our findings reveal a positive association between creative self-efficacy and cognitive reappraisal. Moreover, a significant relationship is observed between creative self-efficacy and positive affect through the mediation of cognitive reappraisal. Importantly, the indirect effect of creative self-efficacy on career satisfaction is mediated through cognitive reappraisal and then positive affect. These findings not only expand our insight into the factors contributing to positive affect and career satisfaction but also underscore the valuable role of creative self-efficacy in career satisfaction.
大量研究支持积极情绪在改善工作成果和提升职业成功方面的关键作用，因此，探究促进培养积极情绪的情绪调节策略的因素成为一个重要的研究问题。在此背景下，我们的研究探讨了强烈的创造性自我效能感与高度认知重评之间的关联，认知重评是一种既定且有效的情绪调节策略，已知其能增加积极情绪。我们提出一个模型，其中高水平的创造性自我效能感会导致认知重评倾向，从而产生高水平的积极情绪，最终带来更高的职业满意度。我们对韩国550名成年人进行的调查，通过认知重评以及积极情绪来检验创造性自我效能感与职业满意度之间的间接关系。我们的研究结果揭示了创造性自我效能感与认知重评之间存在正相关。此外，通过认知重评的中介作用，观察到创造性自我效能感与积极情绪之间存在显著关系。重要的是，创造性自我效能感对职业满意度的间接影响是通过认知重评进而积极情绪来介导的。这些研究结果不仅拓展了我们对促成积极情绪和职业满意度的因素的理解，也强调了创造性自我效能感在职业满意度中的重要作用。
