Positive mood and engagement: A moderated mediation model of promotion focus and social supportAbstract: In this paper, we examined the within-person relations between positive mood at the beginning of the work day and job engagement during the day. We hypothesized that selfefficacy mediates the positive association between positive mood and state work engagement. We also investigated the boundary conditions and predicted that trait promotion focus and perceived social support moderate these relations. A diary study conducted over five consecutive working days with two measurement occasions per day (N = 119 employees) provided support for our moderated mediation model. Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between positive mood and state engagement. As predicted, these relationships were significant only for individuals low in promotion focus. As a key work characteristic, perceived social support strengthened the relations between positive mood, efficacy and engagement. Results establish causal links between positive mood and state engagement, and elaborate existing knowledge about when these effects are likely to occur
