A total of 446 fulltime employees completed the survey. The results of SPSS Process indicated that (a) emotional exhaustion mediated the negative effect of both challenge and hindrance stressors on mental health; (b) cognitive appraisal negatively moderated the indirect effect of challenge stressors on mental health through emotional exhaustion, that is, with higher level of cognitive reappraisal this indirect effect was lower.
