Although prior research has linked being authentic to individual well-being, little is known about authenticity’s external effects, that is, whether being around those who are authentic is good or bad for us. Integrating authenticity research and social penetration theory, we propose that others’ authenticity facilitates a number of positive intra- and interpersonal processes. Using a sample of 715 employees nested in 109 teams working for a nonprofit organization, we found that teammate authenticity relates positively to focal employees’ work engagement and negatively to their emotional exhaustion. While teammate authenticity explained incremental validity in both outcomes beyond the focal employee’s self-authenticity, it did not moderate the link from self-authenticity to well-being. Thus, instead of further facilitating beneficial intra-individual processes, being around authentic teammates seems to trigger distinct beneficial (social) processes that are neglected when focusing merely on the authenticity of the individual employee.

他人的真实性：队友的真实性与我们的幸福感有何关系

尽管先前的研究已将真实与个人幸福联系起来，但我们对真实的外部影响知之甚少，也就是说，与真实的人在一起对我们来说是好是坏。整合真实性研究和社会渗透理论，我们提出他人的真实性促进了许多积极的内部和人际交往过程。使用嵌套在为非营利组织工作的 109 个团队中的 715 名员工的样本，我们发现队友真实性与核心员工的工作投入呈正相关，而与他们的情绪耗竭呈负相关。虽然队友真实性解释了除了核心员工的自我真实性之外的两种结果的增量有效性，但它并没有缓和从自我真实性到幸福感的联系。因此，
