초록

This study aims at analyzing three indicators (positive affect, engagement, and forgiveness behavior) of eustress and three indicators(negative affect, burnout, and revenge behavior) of distress in relation to the health of senior public employees. The research model is tested by using hierarchical regression analysis methods. Survey data was collected from 112 senior public employees in Busan, and Kyungnam Provinces. Sampled data was used to verify the hypothesized affect on dependent variable. The framework of this analysis is first to review the literature that supports the development of a series of constructs followed by the theoretical support for each of the hypothesized affect. Next, the data collection and survey instrument are described. Once the reliability of the constructs is documented, the statistical results are presented along with standardized coefficients and t values. In the end, the article discusses the results, implications, and future research ideas. The contribution of the study lies in its simultaneous examination of both the positive and negative mechanisms(eustress and distress) that affect a leaders’ health. In addition, this study examined some influences on health that are supported in previous research(burnout, NA, PA) and proposed several novel influences(engagement, revenge, forgiveness). Of the six variables that we hypothesized to predict health, only two, positive affect and revenge behavior, were significant. Neither of the work demands was significantly related to health. This finding is consistent with prior theory and research suggesting that eustress and distress, as stress responses, intervene between demands and outcomes.
