Honesty Reporting In Dysregulation Emotion: Employees With Allergic Rhinitis Point of View

Abstract

This research aims to explore the emotional dysregulation in employees with Allergic Rhinitis (AR) from the employee's perspective. This study used a mixed-method with an explanatory sequential design. The subjects of this study were sixty productive age employees with AR. This method was conducted to obtain a wider perspective than only having a quantitative self-assessment. Having a closed questionnaire of emotional regulation modified from Wienberg and Klonsky, this study compares the six variables of emotional regulation namely self-control, evaluating emotions, emotion managing, emotion modification, confidence, and concentration. Besides, there was also a semi-open questionnaire which was answered honestly with anonymous identities to capture perceptions of regulation weaknesses. Kruskal Walls followed by post hoc Mann Whitney was used in an analysis to consider the dimension of emotional regulation on self-assessment. The results showed that the lowest dimension of emotional regulation among employees with RA are self-control and self-confidence, while the highest mean score is evaluating emotions. Emotional dysregulation in men did not differ from that of women. The employees did not have problems in concentration to complete the tasks, and also keep to time based on the schedule from the company. This study suggested practically that employees with AR should not be placed in a warehouse, places having contact with glassware, or requiring them to promote company products.
