- 요약Psychological reactance refers to a negative motivational state that individuals experience when they perceive that their freedom (to think or act) is under attack. After individuals experience reactance, they are motivated to reclaim the freedom they felt was being threatened, often resorting to behaviors that defy directives. Although these behaviors often manifest as counterproductive work behaviors, there has been very limited empirical support for how reactance influences workplace outcomes in the organizational literature. This study integrates psychological reactance theory with contemporary theories of personality - namely, trait activation theory and conditional reasoning theory - to propose a two-stage moderated mediation model. This model suggests that traits activated in specific contexts moderate the relationship between perceived threats to freedom and subsequent experiences of reactance. It further proposes that these context-activated traits moderate the relationship between reactance and restoration of freedom. The hypothesis is that high levels of context-relevant traits strengthen these relationships. This model is tested through three experiments that vary the nature of the threat to freedom and examine different context-relevant traits. Overall, the results were supportive of the basic theory of psychological reactance. Mixed support was found for the integrated model that included the moderating influences of context- relevant traits. This research highlights that organizational policies can provoke reactance, leading to different forms of counterproductive work behaviors. It also emphasizes the need for precision in policy wording, particularly regarding topics closely linked to an individual's values. Future research and practical implications are discussed.
