Meta-analysis reveals contrasting impacts of promotion- versus prevention-focused coping on performance and well-being in employees, highlighting distinct pathways linking work stressors to outcomes.

Key Points

To examine how promotion- and prevention-focused coping strategies mediate the relationships between challenge and hindrance work stressors and individual performance, attitude, and well-being outcomes.
Conducted a meta-analysis pooling 550 effect sizes across 156 independent samples comprising a total of 75,344 employees.
Evaluated the hypothesized stressor-coping-outcome mechanisms via meta-analytic path models and tested model robustness using full-information bootstrapping techniques.
Challenge stressors elicit promotion-focused coping, which relates positively to employee job performance, favorable job attitudes, and personal well-being.
Hindrance stressors induce prevention-focused coping, which associates negatively with job performance, attitudes, and well-being.
Promotion- and prevention-focused coping act as primary intervening mechanisms that explain how workplace stressors directly impact individual work and health outcomes.
