Differentiating Discrete Positive Emotions: Examining the Effects of Gratitude and Pride on Daily Work EngagementAbstract: Past studies have shown that both trait and state positive affect are beneficial for work engagement. Extending this line of research, we examined the within-person relationship between engagement and two discrete positive emotions – gratitude and pride. We hypothesized that gratitude would positively impact daily engagement. Integrating goal orientation theory with research on pride, we hypothesized that performance-approach orientation and learning orientation would moderate the relationship between authentic pride and engagement. A diary study conducted over five consecutive days with two measurement occasions per day (N = 119 employees) provided support for our hypotheses regarding the direct effects of gratitude and the moderating effects of performance-approach orientation. We demonstrate that different discrete positive emotions can have substantially different effects on engagement
