Abstract
The current study aimed at investigating the relationship between elements
of cognitive processing, emotional strategies of coping, and to show
cognitive dysregulation in permanent employees. More specifically, the
current research examined the mediating role of metacognitive
components in developing negative beliefs about thoughts, further
exploring moderation across gender. The sample (N=514) was purposively
selected from various local organizations in Pakistan. The data was
analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software (version 22). The results
indicated significant gender differences in worry and emotion oriented
coping. Findings through structural equation modelling revealed that
mediated relationship between positive beliefs, emotional coping and
negative beliefs was significantly moderated by gender. Conversely,
negative beliefs about the harmfulness of thoughts were found to be
affecting the females less, suggesting males to hold higher risks of
dysregulation.
