“…Previous studies have established that self-esteem pursuit impairs self-regulation and elevates reactivity to threatening feedback (Crocker, 2002b), as it increases the chance of interpreting events and feedback from others in terms of what it means about their self (Crocker et al, 2006), the typical attitude of socially anxious. Self-compassion, on the other hand, has been found to be capable of buffering individuals from the motivational and emotional consequences of self-esteem threats (e.g., DeLury & Poulin, 2018;Neff et al, 2005). The current research adds to this growing literature an indication that self-compassion, understood as disposition, can partially mediate (not only moderate) negative effect of self-esteem, self-worth contingent on competition and appearance, on social anxiety.…”

Fear of evaluation and a negative view of the self are the core aspects of social anxiety. Self-compassion and self-esteem are two distinct positive attitudes toward the self, which are positively related to each other, well-being and good psychological functioning. It is less clear, however, how they interplay in socially anxious individuals and if self-compassion may reduce the negative effect of low self-esteem on social anxiety. The current research aimed at evaluating the directional links between those constructs to check if self-compassion mediates the effect of self-esteem on social anxiety. In this study, 388 adult participants with elevated social anxiety completed measures of self-compassion, self-esteem and social anxiety. As expected, both self-esteem and self-compassion correlated negatively with social anxiety and positively with one another, with lower self-esteem being a stronger predictor of social anxiety. Importantly, self-compassion partially mediated the relationship between self-esteem and social anxiety. These findings suggest that self-compassion partially explains the negative effects of deficits in self-esteem on social anxiety. Practical implications of the research are discussed.

“…Although here were not many studies related to self compassion at the work context, the regular are supporting the previous literature done elsewhere. Self compassion and performance related as in DeLury and Poulin (2018). As self compassion is related to self esteem it was also related to performance.…”

The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between self-compassion and intrinsic motivation, job performance, and job satisfaction in terms of organizational context. The data were obtained from several organizations from 112 participants (Female: 48% Male: 52%) and the participants answered four different scales which are Self-Compassion Scale, Work Preference Inventory-Intrinsic Motivation Subscale, Self-Reported Task Performance & OCB Scale, and Global Job Satisfaction Subscale . The results showed that self-compassion and intrinsic motivation (β=.249, p<.001), self-compassion and self-reported job performance (β=.311, p<.001) and self-compassion and job satisfaction (β=.323, p<.001) had significant and positive beta weights after controlling for the demographic variables in several hierarchical regression analyses. All the research questions were affirmative. The results were discussed and improvement over the research was suggested..
