Major life stressors are typically characterized by high levels of uncertainty, causing employees to experience considerable stress that can profoundly affect their psychological well-being and behavioral outcomes. Research has predominantly focused on the negative effects of such stressors, with relatively few studies examining their potential to result in positive and negative outcomes simultaneously. Drawing on the transactional theory of stress, this study proposes a dual-path model to examine how daily major life stressors may prompt employees to adopt problem-focused and emotion-focused coping, thereby influencing their psychological well-being. We further investigate whether occupational calling– a key personal resource–moderates these relationships. This study adopts the COVID-19 pandemic as a representation of major life stressors and applies the experience sampling method to conduct daily surveys twice per day (after work and the following noon) across five consecutive workdays. Data were analyzed from 60 full-time employees in Taiwan, yielding 582 responses. The results showed that the indirect effects of daily major life stressors on daily mindfulness were insignificant. However, daily major life stressors exhibited a significant positive indirect effect on daily self-regulatory depletion through daily anxiety. Moreover, occupational calling strengthened the positive direct and indirect effects of daily major life stressors on daily task reflexivity and daily mindfulness. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. |
