“…Hallsten, Josephson and Torgén (2005) established that individuals using performance at work as a measure of personal value are more vulnerable to burnout than individuals who have a non‐contingent sense of self‐worth. Type A behavior has been previously linked to over‐achievement in approaching and managing tasks (Perez‐García & Sanjuán, 1996; Preckel, von Känel, Kudielka & Fischer, 2005; van den Berg & Schalk, 1997) and it has also been linked to burnout (Maslach et al ., 2001).…”

“…According to several studies (Barling & Charbonneau, 1992; Perez‐García & Sanjuán, 1996; Spence et al ., 1987), Type A individuals appear as more achievement striving than individuals not displaying typical Type A behavior patterns, and they are also excellent performers. Based on their findings, Preckel et al .…”

“…autonomy) could very well moderate harmful effects of Type A behavior on well‐being and enhance involvement and motivation. It has been noted (Perez‐García & Sanjuán, 1996; van den Berg & Schalk, 1997) that Type A individuals maximize their efforts also when not especially called for, for example, when no deadline was due (contrary to non‐Type A individuals who were found to maximize effort only when especially called for, e.g. to meet a deadline).…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate Type A behavior as well as perceived work situation, and associations with burnout and work engagement. The associations in focus were investigated through hierarchical regressions in a sample (N= 329) of Swedish Information Communication Technology consultants. The findings indicated that both work situation and Type A behavior was correlated with work engagement and burnout; however, no interactions between Type A behavior and work situation were elicited. The main conclusion was that the achievement striving aspect of Type A behavior appears as "non-toxic" and is related only to work engagement. However, the irritability/impatience aspect appears to be responsible for burnout complaints among Type A individuals, possibly through negative effects of the mood itself than through perceived stress at work.

“…It has been indicated that individuals who participate in sport, compared with those who do not, have higher perceived competence, higher self-esteem, more motivation to win, and a more definite achievement goals [25,26]. Some of these characteristics are present in two major components of Type A behavior: the competitiveness component seems to be more related to achievement, competence motives, and an internal locus of control, whereas the impatience component tends to have emotional reactions, poor performance, and an external locus of control [27,28].…”

“…De hecho se ha sugerido que el esfuerzo cognitivo o mental sería el mecanismo psicológico responsable del aumento de reactividad en situaciones de afrontamiento activo (Bongard y Hodapp, 1997;Frankenhauser y Johansson, 1976;Pérez-García y Sanjuán, 1996), siendo la FC el parámetro que parece reflejar en mayor medida las relaciones entre esfuerzo y reactividad (Veldman y Gaillard, 1993;Wilson y Eggemeier, 1991).…”

ResumenEl presente estudio analiza las relaciones entre la expectativa generalizada de Competencia Percibida (CP, Wallston, 1992) y el rendimiento y la reactividad de frecuencia cardíaca (FC) en una tarea perceptual con tres niveles de dificultad (bajo, medio y alto). También se evaluaron variables más contextualizadas como percepción de amenaza y expectativas de autoeficacia y de éxito. Los principales resultados pueden resumirse en los siguientes puntos: (1) los altos en CP (n=40) rendían mejor (tiempos de reacción más bajos y menos errores) que los bajos en CP (n=40), percibiendo menos amenaza, e informando expectativas de autoeficacia y de éxito más altas; (2) se encontraron interacciones significativas CP x dificultad para la reactividad de frecuencia cardíaca en tarea y en recuperación, indicando diferencias entre ambos grupos en los niveles extremos de dificultad (fácil: CP alto > CP bajo; difícil: CP bajo > CP alto); y (3) mientras el efecto de CP sobre el tiempo de reacción fue directo, su efecto sobre el número de errores estaba mediado por la autoeficacia específica. Los resultados fueron discutidos teniendo en cuenta las relaciones entre competencia y rendimiento, entre esfuerzo invertido frente a amenaza percibida y reactividad fisiológi-ca, y entre expectativas generalizadas frente a específicas y predicción de la conducta.Palabras clave: Competencia percibida, rendimiento, reactividad cardiovascular. AbstractThe aim of the present research was to analyse the relationship between Perceived competence (PC, Wallston, 1992) and performance and heart rate reactivity (HR) on a perceptual task with three levels of difficulty (easy, medium, difficult). More contextualized variables such as perception of threat, self-efficacy and success expectancies, were also analysed. Results can be summarized in the following points: (1) The group with higher PC (n=40) performed better (lower reaction time and error rate) than the group with lower PC (n=40). They also perceived less threat and informed of greater selfefficacy and success expectancies; (2) there were significant interactions between PC and the difficulties with the HR reactivity during the task and recovery periods, indicating differences between both groups in the extreme levels: easy (High PC > low PC) and difficult (Low PC > high PC); (3) the effect of PC on reaction time was direct whereas its effect on the error rate was mediated by self-efficacy. These results were discussed taking into account the relationships between the following variables: competence and performance, effort made versus perception of threat and physiological reactivity, and between generalized versus specific expectancies and behaviour prediction.
