Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to elucidate the factors that impact the state self-esteem of employees within the context of the workplace. This paper examines the impact of negative work events on the state self-esteem of employees. Investigations were conducted to examine whether employees experiencing negative work events are associated with low state self-esteem. In addition to this relationship, neuroticism was researched to investigate if it is a moderator of the relationship between state self-esteem and negative work events. The expected impact of neuroticism was that employees high in neuroticism are associated with low state self-esteem in the relation between negative work events and state self-esteem. For people low in neuroticism the opposite was expected. The following theories served as the basis for the hypotheses: ‘Stress as Offense to Self’ (Semmer et al., 2019) and ‘Failing is Derailing’ (Pindek, 2020). The variables were measured through one baseline survey and daily surveys after working days, where the participants had to answer questions regarding neuroticism, negative work events and state self-esteem. The results for both hypotheses were not statistically significant. Overall, this study advances our understanding of influencing factors on state self-esteem and has practical implications and implications for future research.
