AI Article Synopsis
- The study uses coping theory to explore how perceived threats from COVID-19 and psychological distress mediate the effects of social media misinformation on turnover intentions and job performance.
- The analysis in Study 1 confirmed that this mediation occurs sequentially, with perceived threat leading to psychological distress, which in turn impacts turnover intentions.
- Study 2 reinforced these findings with time-lagged data and also identified that resilience plays a role in moderating the effects of misinformation on turnover intentions and performance.
Article Abstract
By applying coping theory, this study develops and tests a process model investigating the sequential mediating roles of perceived COVID-19 threat and psychological distress on the relationships between social media misinformation and turnover intentions, and in-role performance. Hypothesized model for Study 1 was fully supported, showing that the association between social media misinformation and turnover intentions are each mediated sequentially, first by perceived COVID-19 threat and then by psychological distress. Additional support was found for the sequential mediation model when predicting turnover intentions and in-role performance in Study 2, using time-lagged data. Besides, this study found that resilience moderated social media misinformation's sequential indirect effect on turnover intentions and in-role performance. Implications and future research directions have been discussed.
