- 研究成果概要
- Morimoto and Shimada (2015) suggest that it is important to expand a coping repertoire and appraisal of coping acceptability in the workplace context in implementing cognitive behavior stress management therapy. Those who have low self-compassion (SC), which is being kind and considerate to one’s self, can lean on coping time and again, which can lower their job performance and activate their stress response. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a coping repertoire, extent to which workplace context is taken into account, and SC on employees’ stress response and job performance. Six hundred full-time employees participated in the survey. Questions were posed to participants using the following surveys: (a)SC; (b)coping repertoire; (c)the work performance; (d)stress response; and (e)appraisal of coping acceptability in workplace context. The method was approved by the local ethical committee. As a result, it was indicated that those with higher SC and higher appraisal of coping acceptability in workplace context had relatively low stress responses. Additionally, it was also indicated that regardless of SC, both higher coping repertoire and higher appraisal of coping acceptability in workplace context positively contribute to job performance. This study shows that selecting a coping strategy appropriate to the workplace context can improve job performance and lower the stress response for those with higher SC. Therefore, based on these two results, this study indicates that employees’ stress management, stress response and job performance can be improved by not only encouraging the selection of a coping strategy that is appropriate to the workplace context, but also by raising self-compassion. The results of this study suggest that the degree of SC might be an individual factor affecting how stress response and job performance are expressed. Therefore, in future practice, we should adopt some practices that can enhance self-compassion.
