“…Intrinsic motivation is the ability to perform a task for innate satisfaction other than few detachable consequences (Ryan and Deci, 2000, p. 56). The concept has witnessed a remarkable attention because studies have shown that intrinsically motivated employees perform better and demonstrate high employee creativity (Nehra and Rangnekar, 2017). Psychological detachment has been linked to intrinsic motivation (Ghosh et al.…”

PurposeThis paper conceptualizes the broaden-build and self-determination theories that act as the major theoretical framework to investigate the role of psychological detachment and job crafting behaviours in predicting intrinsic motivation through emotional stability. It was hypothesized that emotionally stable employees are better able to detach themselves from work and craft their job according to their preference and abilities, which would inculcate experience and make them intrinsically motivated.Design/methodology/approachThe sample comprised 396 employees, who are employed in different organizations across India. To test the hypotheses, the authors conducted structural equation modelling on SPSS AMOS 22.FindingsThe results highlight the partial mediating role of emotional stability in the association of psychological detachment with intrinsic motivation as well as the fully mediating role between job crating and intrinsic motivation.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is conducted in a non-western collectivist culture and it makes significant contribution to the available literature on intrinsic motivation by proving that psychological detachment and job crafting act as predictor and highlighting the psychological state through emotional stability. The study further adds toward theory building around the construct of emotional stability, as it is still in its infancy.Practical implicationsThis study has depicted that emotionally stable employees who are psychologically detached and have proactive job crafting behaviour can achieve higher intrinsic motivation.Originality/valueOn the basis of the recovery process (i.e. the effort-recovery model), the broaden and build theory and self-determination theory (SDT), this paper demonstrates that emotional stability plays the role of mediator that drives psychological detachment and encourages job crafting, which has the ability to intrinsically motivate the employees.

“…We argue that there is savoring mechanism that may explain the way in which intrinsic motivation reduces work stress and help in recovering from it, which in turn support employee engagement. Herein, savoring suggests “an individual's ability to enlarge and control positive affect by attentively aiming on positive experiences as they occur; anticipating future positive events and reminding previous similar positive events” (Bryant, 1989, p. 782; Bryant and Veroff, 2007; Nehra and Rangnekar, 2017, p. 564). Research has reported that higher savoring tendency is more prevalent among intrinsically motivated individual (see Dattilo, 2016).…”

PurposeThe present study is to develop an additional perspective on when and why psychological detachment and job crafting behaviors in predicting employee engagement through spirituality and intrinsic motivation. It was hypothesized that spiritual employees are better able to detach themselves from work and craft their job according to their preference and abilities, which would inculcate experience and make them intrinsically motivated and thereby leading to employee engagement.Design/methodology/approachThe sample comprised 408 employees, who are employed in different organizations across India. To test the hypotheses, the author conducted structural equation modeling on SPSS AMOS 22.FindingsThe results highlight the partial mediating role of spirituality in the association of psychological detachment with intrinsic motivation as well as between job crafting and intrinsic motivation. The results highlight the fully mediating role of intrinsic motivation in the association of psychological detachment with employee engagement as well as between job crafting and employee engagement.Practical implicationsThis study has depicted that spiritual employee who are psychologically detached and have proactive job crafting behavior can achieve higher intrinsic motivation and more engaged.Originality/valueOn the basis of the broaden and build theory, self-determination theory (SDT) and the recovery process (i.e. the effort-recovery model), this paper demonstrates that spirituality plays the role of predictor that drives psychological detachment and encourages job crafting, which has the ability to intrinsically motivate the employee and are able to more engaged in work.

“…According to social penetration theory, self-disclosure is of vital importance in the development of interpersonal relationships since the process of self-disclosure will strengthen the relationship in a penetrating way [37], which in turn avoids maladaptive outcomes such as social alienation and withdrawal. Empirical studies have also demonstrated a significantly positive association between self-disclosure and social adaptation among adults and university students [38-40]. Moreover, Yu[41] revealed a similar finding that adolescents with a high level of self-disclosure are more likely to develop better social adaptation.…”

Background When it comes to the occurrence place of bullying behavior, school can never be ignored because adolescents spend a lot of time in school. School bullying has become a significant social issue among young generations, which influences their healthy growth. However, our understanding of the effects of school bullying is still limited. So, the present study aims to investigate how school bullying affects adolescent social adaptation. Methods A sample of 434 Chinese adolescents (56.9% females; M age =13.07 years, SD =0.93) participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling was adopted to assess the hypothesized model. Results The results indicated that school bullying had a direct effect on negative social adaptation rather than positive social adaptation. Moreover, self-disclosure and school connectedness mediated the relationship between school bullying and social adaptation, separately and sequentially. Conclusions The present study combines self-disclosure and school connectedness into a multiple mediation model, highlighting the importance of individual and environmental factors in the effects of school bullying on adolescents’ social adaptation. Practically, the current findings may provide some guidance for the prevention and intervention of school bullying and the promotion of social adaptation in adolescents.
