Abstract
Incorporating the understandings from affect theory of social exchange and rejection
sensitivity theory, this study investigates relationship between rejection sensitivity and
job performance. This study investigates how rejection sensitivity (RS) reduces job
performance (JP) by acknowledging workplace loneliness (WL) as potential mediator and
emotional culture of companionate love (ECCL) as a crucial contingency of the
mediation effect. We test moderated mediation model by using sample of 291 workers
and managers from textile sector at two different intervals and the analysis of data
showed a negative relationship between RS and JP via WL with its decreasing strength
within the ECCL. Results of our study have imperative suggestions for the organizations
in vindicating the adverse effects of workers tendency towards feelings of loneliness and
sensitivity towards rejection through the development of emotional culture of
companionate love.
