This research contributes to theory on self-control at work through applying and extending the limited-capacity model of self-control to examine the extent to which daily self-control work demands predict self-control failure and driving behavior during the commute after work. We develop a dual-pathway model in which resisting-distractions demands and impulse-control demands at work have unique relationships with speeding behavior via two separate pathways of self-control failure: one reflecting a failure to regulate attention and the other reflecting a failure to suppress impulses, which is moderated by negative affect. In two studies of daily work experiences and driving behavior, we find support for our model, over and above the effects of cognitive and affective work demands, postwork fatigue, and motivation. We discuss the implications of our findings in relation to the concept of self-control work demands and self-control depletion theory. Our findings also contribute to research on the links between work and commuting, and driving commuting most specifically, which is important because work-to-driving spillover represents a substantive safety issue for organizations.

这项研究通过应用和扩展有限能力的自我控制模型，以研究日常自我控制工作需求在多大程度上预测下班后通勤期间的自我控制失败和驾驶行为，从而为工作中的自我控制理论做出了贡献。我们开发了一种双路径模型，在该模型中，工作中的抵抗力分散需求和冲动控制需求通过两种独立的自我控制失败途径与超速行为有着独特的关系：一个反映了对注意力的调节失败，而另一个反映了对注意力的调节失败。抑制冲动，这种冲动会受到负面影响的影响。在两项关于日常工作经验和驾驶行为的研究中，除了认知和情感工作需求，工作后疲劳和动机的影响之外，我们还发现了对我们模型的支持。我们讨论了与自我控制工作需求和自我控制耗竭理论相关的研究结果的含义。我们的发现还有助于研究工作与通勤之间的联系，并最具体地推动通勤，这很重要，因为从开车到汽车的溢出对组织来说是一个实质性的安全问题。
