Effects of Challenge-hindrance Stress on Employee Occupational Well-being in Chinese SOEs: The Chain Mediating Role of Psychological Capital and Self-regulated Learning
In order to explore the effect and psychological mechanism of challenge-hindrance stress on
employee occupational well-being of state-owned enterprises employees. A total 842 employees of stateowned
enterprises in Beijing were tested with the challenge-hindrance stress scale, psychological capital
scale, self-regulated learning scale and employee occupational well-being scale. The results demonstrated
that: (1) Challenge stress and hindrance stress both significantly negatively predicted employee
occupational well-being of state-owned enterprises employees; (2) Psychological capital was positively
correlated with self-regulated learning and employee occupational well-being; Self-regulated learning was
positively correlated with employee occupational well-being; (3) Psychological capital and self-regulated
learning played chain mediating effect between challenge-hindrance stress and employee occupational
well-being. Therefore, challenge-hindrance stress can not only directly affect the employee occupational
well-being of state-owned enterprises employees, but also indirectly affect the employee occupational
well-being through psychological capital and self-regulated learning.
