Psychological courage (PC) is believed to help individuals in dealing with fear and anxiety, allowing them to confront obstacles and discover purpose in their careers. This study investigated the relationship between PC, job satisfaction, meaning in work, perceived stress, and behavioral systems: the behavioral inhibition system (BIS), the flight-fight-freeze system (FFFS), and the behavioral activation system (BAS). A sample of 805 employees from various industries participated in the study. Results revealed a positive correlation between PC and both job satisfaction and meaning in work, while a negative correlation was found with perceived stress. SEM analysis further indicated that BAS mediates the relationship between PC and positive well-being outcomes. Conversely, the BIS was associated with increased stress and decreased job satisfaction and meaning in work. These findings highlight the importance of PC in promoting positive work experiences. By activating the BAS and inhibiting the BIS, PC can contribute to greater job satisfaction, increased meaning in work, and reduced stress. Organizations can benefit from implementing interventions that foster psychological courage among employees, leading to improved overall well-being and job performance.
心理勇气（PC）被认为有助于个体应对恐惧和焦虑，使他们能够面对障碍并在职业生涯中找到目标。本研究调查了心理勇气、工作满意度、工作意义、感知压力与行为系统之间的关系：行为抑制系统（BIS）、战斗-逃跑-冻结系统（FFFS）和行为激活系统（BAS）。来自不同行业的805名员工参与了这项研究。结果显示，心理勇气与工作满意度和工作意义均呈正相关，而与感知压力呈负相关。结构方程模型（SEM）分析进一步表明，行为激活系统介导了心理勇气与积极幸福感结果之间的关系。相反，行为抑制系统与压力增加、工作满意度降低和工作意义减少有关。这些发现凸显了心理勇气在促进积极工作体验方面的重要性。通过激活行为激活系统并抑制行为抑制系统，心理勇气可以提高工作满意度、增加工作意义并减轻压力。组织可以通过实施培养员工心理勇气的干预措施而受益，从而改善整体幸福感和工作绩效。
