Abstract

Over the years, how employees have responded to workplace envy has been a puzzling question. Using the transactional model of stress and coping, we explore the moderating role of that Zhong-Yong thinking and two coping styles in the relationship between being envied and work engagement from the perspective of cultural fit. A survey of 303 employees was conducted. Empirical results indicate that the relationship between being envied and work engagement is weaker for employees with high Zhong-Yong thinking. Futhermore, the mediated moderation analysis shows that Zhong-Yong thinking is positively associated with both positive coping styles and negative coping styles. Specifically, the moderating effects of Zhong-Yong thinking between being envied and work engagement are mediated by negative coping styles. The findings extend the previous studies on the relationship between being envied and work engagement by exploring the boundary effects, reveal how Zhong-Yong thinking affects work engagement, and confirm the notion that coping styles might be the key mediator through how Zhong-Yong thinking works.
