“…Second, we only focused on daily negative affect, which left out other possibilities, such as the positive ones. While our concern in negative affect is justified by the existence of fewer studies exploring it, we recognize that positive affect is relevant for daily mental health ( Junça-Silva et al, 2021 ). Third, the measures of uncertainty and neuroticism presented moderate reliability indices which might be due to using few items to assess it.…”

“…Moreover, future studies could consider exploring the differences of each kind of animal for practical purposes, e.g., performance. Fourth, future research could analyze the situational conditions by which pet-friendly practices predict OI and well-being, for instance through micro-daily events at work [65]. Fifth, future studies should explore the role of different pet species, e.g., dogs, or cats, because there are studies that demonstrated that different species had different effects.…”

Although there is evidence that pets may help individuals who are facing significant daily stressors, little is known about the benefits of pet-friendly practices for their owners’ well-being. Based on the social exchange theory and on the Rusbult investment model, we argue that organizational pet-friendly practices will be viewed as a source of support from an organization that increases workers’ organizational identification, which in turn will lead to higher levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. For this study, 208 working adults answered an online questionnaire. Results from the study showed that the more pet-friendly practices the higher the workers’ organizational identification, which led to higher indices of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. This study contributes to a better understanding of the human–animal interaction and how pets can function as a resource for individuals’ well-being at work.

“…AET is not only used to explain work-related emotions, but also has expanded to many areas of research in recent years, such as affect mediating the relationship between micro-daily events and well-being, 28 job satisfaction and job insecurity mediating the relationship between incivility and intrapreneurial behavior. 29 Hence, AET has become a significant theory in the field of organizational behavior and HRM, the motivation of researchers increased to test how employees’ behavior is affected by various events and emotions.…”

Introduction Information security policy (ISP) compliance of employees has a profound impact on organization. In the context of information technology innovation and information systems upgrade, employees’ information security behavior is one of the most crucial elements in the information security management of organizations. Based on the two-dimensional model of challenge−hindrance stressor theory and affective events theory, this study explores the mediating effects of emotions on the relationship between challenge information security stress and ISP compliance. Methods A field quasi-experimental method was used in this study. Materials include the Challenge Information Security Stress Scale, Information System Security Policy Compliance Scale, and Emotions Scale, which were used to form the two-stage questionnaire surveys. Data of 217 employees from three Chinese companies in Shanghai and Beijing that had passed certifications for information security management system (GB/t22080-2008/ISO/IEC 27001:2005) were collected. Bootstrapping method for multiple mediation models and the Process 3.0 plug-in of SPSS 20.0 were used for data analysis. Results The findings indicate that challenge information security stress has a positive effect on ISP compliance. Challenge information security stress has a positive effect on positive emotions and a negative effect on negative emotions. Positive emotions have mediating effect between challenge information security stress and ISP compliance, but negative emotions have no mediating effect. Conclusion The research results expand the research scope of challenging stress in the two-dimensional model of challenge−hindrance stressor theory in the context of organizational information security. The findings reveal the mediating effect of positive emotions in challenge information security stress and ISP compliance relationship, which provides empirical support for the application of positive psychology in the field of management.
