Person-Environment Fit, Emotional Exhaustion, and Depression: The Mediating Role of Workplace Belonging
1Département de psychologie de l'Université Marie & Louis Pasteur, Besançon, France.
Abstract:
This study explored the relationship between person-environment fit (PE-fit), workplace belonging, emotional exhaustion, and depression, with a specific focus on the mediating role of workplace belonging. A sample of 202 French professionals completed validated French-language online-questionnaires assessing these variables. Results supported the hypothesized model. Negative associations were found between PE-fit, workplace belonging, emotional exhaustion, and depression. Mediation analysis confirmed workplace belonging's mediating role between PE-fit and employee depression, as well as emotional exhaustion. This research underscores the significance of workplace belonging in understanding links between person-environment fit, emotional exhaustion, and depression. These findings offer practical insights for organizations aiming to prevent psychological distress by enhancing employees' sense of belonging.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
