Description:	Kegawatan dunia kerja telah menimbulkan cabaran dalam menangani kesan kesihatan berkaitan stres psikologi kerja akibat daripada interaksi faktor persekitaran kerja dengan faktor individu. Walaupun kedua-dua trait personaliti marah dan pemaafan telah diteroka secara meluas dalam pelbagai bidang penyelidikan, ianya sangat jarang dikaji dalam konteks interaksi kerja-personaliti. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti interaksi di antara faktor persekitaran kerja dan trait marah-pemaafan dalam meramalkan stres psikologi kerja, perlakuan makan tak terkawal dan risiko kardiovaskular di kalangan pekerja lelaki sektor swasta di Malaysia. Kajian rentas yang melibatkan 492 pekerja lelaki dari pelbagai industri telah mengisi borang soal selidik isi sendiri dan menjalani penilaian risiko kardioavaskular bukan makmal. Soal selidik yang digunakan ialah Psychosocial Safety Climate-12, Spielberger Trait Anger Scale, Forgiveness Personality Inventory, Demand-Induced Strain Compensation, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory-Exhaustion dan domain Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-Uncontrolled Eating. Analisa Multiple Regression telah digunakan untuk memeriksa bagaimana kesan faktor-faktor persekitaran kerja berbeza pada status kesihatan pekerja mengikut profil personaliti marah-pemaafan. Kajian ini mendapati peramal tidak bersandar yang signifikan untuk stres psikologi pekerjaan adalah suasana keselamatan psikososial, tuntutan kerja emosi dan fizikal, sarana kerja kognitif, dan trait personaliti pemaafan. Peramal tidak bersandar yang signifikan untuk perlakuan makan tak terkawal adalah trait personaliti marah tinggi dan pemaafan rendah. Profil trait personaliti marah rendah-pemaafan tinggi merupakan profil hipotetikal yang terbaik untuk mengurangkan stres psikologi kerja dan perlakuan makan tak terkawal terhadap dedahan tuntutan kerja. Profil trait personaliti marah tinggi-pemaafan rendah rentan terhadap stres psikologi kerja dan perlakuan makan tak terkawal berbanding dengan profil trait personaliti marah tinggi-pemaafan tinggi terhadap tuntutan kerja. Interaksi trait marah tinggi dan perlakuan makan tak terkawal telah meningkatkan kebarangkalian risiko kardiovaskular 10% dan lebih terhadap pendedahan stres psikologi kerja tinggi. Sarana kerja yang tinggi adalah berguna kepada trait personaliti marah tinggi-pemaafan tinggi untuk mengurangkan stres psikologi kerja dengan pengecualian perlakuan makan tak terkawal. Dalam sampel ini, faktor persekitaran pekerjaan berinteraksi dengan profile trait personaliti marah-pemaafan dalam meramalkan kesihatan pekerja. Tuntutan dan sarana kerja yang sepadan dengan profil trait personaliti mungkin mengurangkan kesan kesihatan yang berkaitan dengan trait.,The turmoil-filled world of work has aroused challenges in tackling psychological stress related health consequences as a result of work environment and individual factors interaction. Although both anger and forgiveness as personality traits were explored extensively in multiple fields of research, it has rarely been examined in the context of the work-personality interaction. This study aims to determine the interaction between work environment factors and anger-forgiveness personality traits in predicting psychological job stress, uncontrolled eating behaviour and cardiovascular risk among male employees in private sectors in Malaysia. A cross sectional study of 492 male employees from multi-worksites had completed self-administered questionnaires in addition to non laboratory cardiovascular risk assessment. The questionnaires used were Psychosocial Safety Climate-12, Spielberger Trait Anger Scale, Forgiveness Personality Inventory, Demand-Induced Strain Compensation, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory-Exhaustion and Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-Uncontrolled Eating domain. Multiple Regression technique was used to examine how the effect of work environment factors on employees' health differs according to anger-forgiveness personality traits profile. This study found significant independent predictors for psychological job stress were psychosocial safety climate, emotional and physical job demands, cognitive job resources, and forgiveness personality trait. The significant independent predictors for uncontrolled eating behaviour were high anger and low forgiveness personality traits. Low anger-high forgiveness as personality traits profile was the best hypothetical profile for reducing psychological job stress and uncontrolled eating behaviour on exposure to job demands. High anger-low forgiveness as personality traits profile was more susceptible to psychological job stress and uncontrolled eating behaviour compared to high anger-high forgiveness as personality traits profile on exposure to job demands. Joint effect of high anger trait and high uncontrolled eating behaviour had increased the probability of cardiovascular risk 10% and more on exposure to high psychological job stress. High job resources were beneficial for high anger-high forgiveness reduce psychological job stress with exemption of uncontrolled eating behaviour. In this occupational group of Malaysian male, work environment factors interact with the anger-forgiveness personality traits profile in predicting employees' health. Matching the job demands and job resources with the personality traits profile may reduce trait-related health outcomes.,PhD
