【摘要】Value incongruence between employees and organizations has beenidentified as a negative work condition. An attitude-based account suggeststhat value incongruence gives rise to negative attitudes toward organizationsand thus causes low performance. To complement 

this mechanism,we propose a resource-based account based on ego-depletiontheory, which suggests that value incongruence consumes an 

individual’sregulatory resources and leads to lowwork performance. In support of this view, results from 2 survey studies and a vignette experiment 

revealthat value incongruence is positively associated with ego depletion,which in turn is negatively related to work performance. The mediationeffect 

of ego depletion is independent of the attitude-based mechanismas represented by job satisfaction and affective commitment. Consistent with the 

affective consistency perspective, the relationship betweenvalue incongruence and ego depletion is stronger among employeeshigh in positive affectivity

 and weaker among employees high in negativeaffectivity. The corresponding moderated mediation analysis showsthat the indirect effects of value 

incongruence on work performancethrough ego depletion vary as a function of positive and negative affectivity.This investigation unravels the self-regulatory 

consequence ofvalue incongruence and shows that the resource-based mechanism ofvalue incongruence operates differentially as a function of dispositional

affectivity.
