“…Among the few studies that have examined the effect of role overload on job satisfaction, referred to as a basic attitude towards one's job experiences (Harrison, Newman, & Roth, 2006), findings have generally demonstrated the expected negative relationship (e.g., Vandenberghe, Panaccio, Bentein, Mignonac, & Roussel, 2011;Wincent & Örtqvist, 2009). However, one's evaluation of a stressor is an important component of stress response (Webster et al, 2011), and role overload could be characterized as a potentially beneficial stressor (Wincent & Örtqvist, 2011), especially for those with high PA who have a tendency to be determined and active within the context of stressors (Watson et al, 1988). Further, broaden-and-build theory suggests that the resiliency and health of those regularly experiencing positive emotions (e.g., those high in PA) would provide a helpful resource for one's attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction).…”
