"Investigating the longitudinal effects of surface acting on managers' functioning through psychological needs": Correction to Huyghebaert et al. (2018).

Abstract

Reports an error in "Investigating the longitudinal effects of surface acting on managers' functioning through psychological needs" by Tiphaine Huyghebaert, Nicolas Gillet, Claude Fernet, Fadi-Joseph Lahiani, Séverine Chevalier and Evelyne Fouquereau (Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2018[Apr], Vol 23[2], 207-222). In the article, several model links were missing from Figure 2 due to an editorial production error. The correct version of Figure 2 with all model links included is presented in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2017-14083-001.) This study is based on the premise that managers are expected to regulate their emotions in the form of surface acting. More specifically, drawing on self-determination theory, we explored the role of psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness in explaining the influence of surface acting on supervisors' job satisfaction and work engagement over time. Data were collected at 2 time points, over a 3-month period, from a sample of 435 French managers working in the health care industry. Results revealed that surface acting negatively predicted managers' job satisfaction and work engagement over time, through the satisfaction of their psychological needs. However, managers' need thwarting did not explain these positive outcomes. Overall, these findings provide insight into the longitudinal adverse effects of managers' surface acting on their functioning and corroborate the distinct role of psychological need satisfaction and thwarting. Theoretical contributions and perspectives, as well as implications for practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
