A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
While there is a lot of research on everyday secrecy, the effects of organizational secrecy have yet to be explored. Exploring this topic could be important since research has shown that secrecy causes harm to well-being and it could be worthwhile to investigate if work-related secrets have the same effect. To contribute to this emerging field of research this study examined if there is a relationship between work-related secrets and emotional exhaustion while assessing whether neuroticism moderates this relationship. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. The data were collected through an online questionnaire with a total of 120 participants that were used for the final analysis. The results of this study indicated that there was no significant relationship between secrecy and emotional exhaustion, and that there was also no moderation effect of neuroticism. These findings suggest that there is no evidence that work-related secrets are experienced as emotionally exhausting.
