Abstract:
In this article, we present three studies designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy Scale at Work (RESE-W). In Study 1 (N = 1735), we tested and confirmed a bifactorial structure comprised of one general and two specific dimensions across the six scale items. In Study 2 (N = 211), we investigated the relations of the RESE-W with emotional dynamics at work by estimating its associations with emotional variability, inertia, granularity, and baseline levels. In Study 3 (N = 294), we examined the scale's convergent and external validity, as well as the incremental predictive value of the RESE-W compared to other measures of emotional regulation abilities. Results supported the validity of the instrument and its utility in predicting individuals' emotional functioning within applied settings.
