Can dealing with emotional exhaustion lead to enhanced happiness? The roles of planning and social support

Drawing upon the sustainable happiness model (Lyubomirsky, Sheldon, & Schkade, 2005), we examine boundary conditions to the detrimental effect of emotional exhaustion on happiness. We posit that perceiving low supervisor support enhances the employee’s engagement in the development of an action plan, which, when paired with an active search for instrumental social support, boosts happiness. Drawing on three distinct samples from participants working in diverse occupations (81 Portugal-based team leaders working under direct supervision; 177 US-based supervised full-time workers and 242 US-based employees working full-time and under direct supervision), we found that perceived supervisor support (PSS) moderated the emotional exhaustion-planning association, whereas searching for instrumental social support moderated the planning-happiness relationship. We also found that the indirect effect of emotional exhaustion on happiness, via planning, was positive and significant only when employees perceived low supervisor support and searched highly for instrumental social support. We conclude that under some conditions, the process of dealing with emotional exhaustion can enhance happiness. Implications for research on happiness, coping and social support are discussed, as well as implications for practice.     

Dimensions of Job Quality,Mechanisms, and Subjective Well‐Being in the United States

How does job quality predict subjective well‐being in the United States? Prior research suggests that various job quality dimensions such as job security and individual task discretion affect subjective well‐being, but the theoretical mechanisms are implied rather than tested and aspects of job quality are rarely tested together. I use structural equation modeling and General Social Survey data to assess the impact of five job quality dimensions—individual task discretion, monetary compensation, job security, low work intensity, and safe work conditions—on subjective well‐being. Then, I show that job quality influences subjective well‐being by improving social life, altering class identification, affecting physical health, and increasing amounts of leisure time. Finally, while I find that job quality dimensions do have statistically significant effects on subjective well‐being, the way in which job quality affects subjective well‐being differs by job dimension. In other words, job quality has a statistically significant impact on subjective well‐being, but different job quality domains are connected to subjective well‐being in different ways.     

“鱼乐之辩”的心灵哲学解读

他心知问题是一个特殊的认识论研究领域,它探讨的主要是“我”以外的他心的本体论地位问题以及如何得到关于他心知的问题。在我国,庄子与惠施关于“鱼乐”问题的争辩堪称是人类历史上最早提出他心知问题的典型代表,二者的争论不仅以一种特殊的方式提出了他心知问题,而且在这一问题上可知论与怀疑论两种截然相反的回答。从西方心灵哲学的角度深入挖掘“鱼乐之辩”中隐含的丰富的他心知问题的思想,对填补中国哲学在这一领域研究上的空白无疑具有重大意义。     

剖析亚里士多德“幸福”思想的新理路

亚里士多德没有完全接受前时代哲学家关于幸福的种种观点和看法,他创新性地研究了＂幸福的内涵＂、＂幸福的实现路径＂两个命题：幸福是至善、是完满的,并且是自足的,同时思辨是最大的幸福;幸福必须在灵魂的合乎德性的现实活动中,在城邦中才能获得。通过对这两个命题的阐述,亚里士多德确立了自己的幸福观,实现了对前时代幸福观的继承和超越。

Specialization and happiness in marriage: A U.S.–Japan comparison

This paper examines the relationship between specialization and happiness in marriage in the U.S. and Japan. Our findings, based on the General Social Surveys in the U.S. and Japan, indicate both similarities and differences in the determinants of marital happiness in the two countries. In the U.S., the findings are mixed. Women’s reported marital happiness in the U.S. is more likely to follow the predictions of the bargaining model where their happiness is determined by their own income. Men’s marital happiness in the U.S. follows the predictions of the specialization model; they are happier if their wives are not working or, alternatively, if they are financially dependent on their wives. In Japan, we find support for the specialization model, particularly in the case of women; they are happier if they are specialized in the household and they have a higher household income. Our research highlights how marital quality is affected by the institutional context and the normative environment.     

企业家履行社会责任会带来幸福感么?--情商与乐观主义的调节作用

企业家社会责任的各个利益相关者维度中,股东/投资者责任、社区责任、慈善责任对企业家幸福感有显著正向影响,其他利益相关者责任则对企业家幸福感没有显著影响。情商的四个维度中仅有情绪调整、情绪运用在企业家的股东/投资者责任对企业家幸福度的影响中起到正向调节作用,以及他人情绪评估在企业家的慈善责任对企业家幸福度的正向影响中起到正向调节作用,乐观主义在企业家的社区责任和慈善责任对企业家幸福度的影响中起到负向调节作用。     

大学生综合幸福感结构验证与影响因素分析

以《综合幸福感问卷》为工具研究大学生综合幸福感。发现大学生幸福感在性别、文理科方面无显著性差异;独生子女大学生的幸福感高于非独生子女大学生;学生干部的幸福感显著高于非学生干部;城市学生幸福感高于农村学生;不同年级的大学生幸福感有显著差异;经济因素主要影响主观幸福感;运动能提高幸福感,但过量运动反而会导致幸福水平下降。对主观幸福感有显著回归作用的依次是运动时间、是否贫困生、年级、生活支出、性别、是否学生干部．对心理幸福感有显著回归作用的依次是是否学生干部、年级、运动时间和城乡来源。研究发现SWB与PWB都是幸福感的有机组成部分,二者既相互独立又相互联系。     

亚里士多德幸福思想中的“善”与“德”——以《尼各马科伦理学》为例

在亚里士多德看来,幸福与"善"、"德性"、"城邦生活"紧密联系;是一种合乎德性的善(好)的生存状态。他一方面强调作为优秀品质的德性对于幸福的前提性意义,另一方面更崇尚人的"德性的实践"作为幸福的有效途径。
