The burgeoning occupational callings literature has shown that feeling called to a job is associated with an array of positive job-, career-, and health-related outcomes. However, recent studies have begun to indicate that there may also be a "negative side" of callings. The present study builds on this emerging perspective to examine whether feeling called to a job makes helping professionals more vulnerable to the negative effects of acute stressors. Specifically, we integrated identity, cognitive rumination, and psychological detachment theories to explain how feeling called to one's job (i.e., the strength of one's calling intensity) might bolster the negative, indirect relationship between emotionally disturbing work and strain (i.e., mental exhaustion, sleep quality, and alcohol consumption) through negative work rumination. Results from a 10-week diary study with a national U.S. sample of 211 paramedics revealed that on weeks that paramedics experienced more emotionally disturbing work, they engaged in greater levels of negative work rumination, which in turn was associated with greater mental exhaustion and worse sleep quality, but not greater alcohol consumption. In addition, calling intensity moderated the indirect effect of emotionally disturbing work on both mental exhaustion and sleep quality, such that these indirect effects were stronger among those with higher (vs. lower) levels of calling intensity. These results provide evidence that employees who feel most called to their jobs may be particularly vulnerable to short-term negative outcomes associated with emotionally disturbing work.

火上浇油：呼叫强度对情绪干扰工作与员工健康之间关系的加剧影响。

新兴的职业召唤文献表明，被召唤到工作的感觉与一系列积极的工作、职业和健康相关的结果有关。然而，最近的研究已经开始表明，召唤也可能有“消极的一面”。本研究建立在这一新兴观点的基础上，以检验是否感觉被要求工作会使帮助专业人士更容易受到急性压力源的负面影响。具体来说，我们整合了身份认同、认知反刍和心理超然理论来解释对工作的呼唤（即呼唤强度的强度）如何增强情绪干扰工作和压力（即精神疲惫、睡眠质量和酒精消耗）通过消极的工作反刍。一项针对美国全国 211 名护理人员样本的为期 10 周的日记研究结果显示，在护理人员经历更多情绪不安的工作的几周内，他们进行了更高水平的消极工作反刍，这反过来又与更严重的精神疲惫和更差的睡眠有关质量，但不是更多的酒精消费。此外，呼叫强度减轻了情绪干扰工作对精神疲惫和睡眠质量的间接影响，因此这些间接影响在呼叫强度较高（与较低）水平的人中更强。这些结果提供了证据，表明最有责任感的员工可能特别容易受到与情绪困扰工作相关的短期负面结果的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
