摘要

This study explores the relationship between job satisfaction and authenticity at work, challenging the assumption of some researchers (e.g., van den Bosch & Taris, 2014) that authenticity leads to increased job satisfaction. Using a longitudinal design, data were collected from 415 employed participants across three time points, with measurements of job satisfaction and authenticity taken at each occasion. Cross-lagged panel modeling revealed that authenticity did not predict subsequent job satisfaction, while job satisfaction significantly predicted subsequent authenticity at work, indicating a unidirectional relationship. These findings suggest that job satisfaction may foster authenticity, aligning with theories that emphasize the role of positive emotions in expanding individuals’ personal resources (i.e., broaden-and-build theory), and highlight the need for further research to clarify the directionality of this relationship.
