Summary: This study uses the conservation of resources theory to investigate the role of altruistic behavior in resource gain and loss spirals, and the association between specific genetic markers and these spirals. The findings suggest that altruistic behavior is directly associated with positive affect and can lead to increased positive affect as a result. Individuals with higher levels of fatigue engage in less altruistic behavior and experience more fatigue over time. Altruistic behavior mediates the relationship between positive affect and fatigue, promoting resource gain and buffering against resource loss. The study also reveals that individuals carrying the 2R allele of the DRD4 polymorphism exhibit stronger positive affect and less fatigue after engaging in altruistic behaviors, compared to non-2R carriers. Hence, individual differences play a moderating role in the relationship between altruistic behavior and resource gain and loss spirals.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of resource loss (mainly home damage) and the choice of active or passive coping strategies on PTSD symptoms in survivors of the 2020 Petrinja earthquake in Croatia. The study found that home damage was a significant predictor of PTSD symptoms, and participants whose homes were damaged were more likely to use passive coping strategies. The frequent use of passive coping was associated with a higher risk of PTSD symptoms.

Summary: Research shows that temporary work quality varies greatly, and temporary workers may experience harmful work stressors that lead to detrimental outcomes. Economic hardship, interpersonal conflict, and organizational constraints can lead to emotional exhaustion in temporary workers, subsequently resulting in increased counterproductive work behaviors. Higher job insecurity and interpersonal conflict levels may also lead to increased moral disengagement, contributing to more frequent CWBs.

Summary: This article examines the issue of burnout among Dutch police officers and investigates the buffering effect of coping self-efficacy on burnout, as well as the depletion effect of burnout on coping self-efficacy. The results indicate that chronic stressors like work scheduling are positively associated with burnout, while coping self-efficacy weakens this association and there is a negative relationship between burnout and coping self-efficacy. The findings suggest that burnout can lead to a decrease in coping resources, initiating a potential cycle of resource loss and burnout.

Summary: This study, based on the conservation of resources theory, explores the relationship between helping behavior and innovative behavior. By collecting data from Chinese workers and supervisors, the study finds that helping behavior enhances positive affect and increases innovative behavior.
