    En el dinámico y competitivo entorno laboral, las personas suelen experimentar una emoción común conocida como soledad en el lugar de trabajo. Este estudio explora la relación entre la supresión de pensamientos y la soledad en el trabajo, así como el papel moderador de la autoevaluación central en el proceso de supresión de la soledad. Se realizó una encuesta a 272 empleados corporativos chinos utilizando el White Bear Suppression Inventory, la Core Self-Evaluation Scale y la Workplace Loneliness Scale. Los resultados indicaron correlaciones significativas entre la supresión de pensamientos, la autoevaluación central y la soledad en el lugar de trabajo (ps < 0.001). La supresión de pensamientos predijo positivamente la soledad laboral (B = 0.303, t = 6.602, p < 0.001), y la autoevaluación central moderó esta relación (B = -0.198, t = -7.314, p < 0.001). Se observó que la autoevaluación central mitiga el impacto negativo de la supresión de pensamientos sobre la soledad en el trabajo, lo que sugiere que intervenciones orientadas a fortalecer la autoevaluación central podrían ayudar a reducir la soledad laboral.

    In the bustling and competitive workplace environment, individuals often experience a common emotion known as workplace loneliness. This study explores the relationship between thought suppression and workplace loneliness, as well as the moderating role of core self-evaluation in the process of suppressing loneliness. A survey of 272 Chinese corporate employees was conducted using the White Bear Suppression Inventory, Core Self-Evaluation Scale, and Workplace Loneliness Scale. Results indicated significant correlations among thought suppression, core self-evaluation, and workplace loneliness (ps < 0.001). Thought suppression positively predicted workplace loneliness (β = 0.303, t = 6.602, p < 0.001), with core self-evaluation moderating this relationship (β = -0.198, t = -7.314, p < 0.001). Core self-evaluation was found to mitigate the negative impact of thought suppression on workplace loneliness, suggesting interventions to enhance core self-evaluation to alleviate workplace loneliness
