Influence of proactive personality on work well-being

Abstract

Abstract: Objective Based on the theory of social ecosystem,to explore the relationship between employees' proactive personality and work well-being,as well as the mediating role of psychological capital and the moderating role of coaching leadership. Methods From February to May 2022,a convenience sampling method was used to select research samples from 8 domestic enterprises. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 668 employees using the proactive personality scale,work well-being scale,psychological capital scale and coaching leadership scale. The moderated mediation effect was tested using SPSS 26.0 macro program. Results The scores of proactive personality,work well-being,and psychological capital of the survey subjects were （5.67±0.88）,（5.39±1.00） and （4.56±0.63）points,respectively. The score of coaching leadership was （5.67±0.96）points. There were statistically significant differences in work well-being among employees of different ages（t=2.73,P<0.05）,with employees aged 40- <50 having the highest level of happiness. Psychological capital increased with age and education（t=8.73,5.18,both P<0.01）. There were significant positive correlation between proactive personality and work well-being as well as psychological capital（r=0.62,0.63, both P<0.01）,and a positive correlation between psychological capital and work well-being（r=0.64,P<0.01）. Proactive personality significantly positively predicts work well-being（β=0.62,P<0.01）. Psychological capital partially mediated the relationship between proactive personality and work well-being,accounting for 44.34% of the total effect. Coaching leadership positively moderates the relationship between proactive personality and work well-being（β=0.06,P<0.05）,as well as the first half of the mediating effect of psychological capital（β=0.05,P<0.05）. Conclusion Proactive personality positively predicts work well-being,and psychological capital plays a mediating role between proactive personality and work well-being. Coaching leadership plays a moderating role in the relationship between proactive personality,psychological capital and work well-being.
