The aim of the present study was to test the hypotheses that (1) the personality disposition of action versus state orientation (i.e., a form of affect regulation) moderates the relationship between stressful life events and building of motive-congruent goals as well as between stress and well-being, and (2) motive-incongruent goal orientations influence well-being negatively. Managers (N = 120) were sampled. The main results were: First, no significant interaction effect of action orientation and life stress on well-being or motive-incongruent goal orientations was found. This was due to a strong action orientation and a low level of stress in the sample used (p < .001 when compared with norm). Because of restricted variance, the moderator hypotheses could not be supported or refuted. Second, motive-incongruent goal orientations correlated with well-being only when action orientation was checked. Thus, action orientation was found to be beneficial for well-being because it suppressed the negative effect of motive-incongruent goal orientations.

The purpose of this study was to test the moderation effect of affective coping (i.e., action vs. state orientation) on the relationship between life stress and life balance (i.e., the appropriate proportion of time spent in major life domains). It was hypothesized that affective coping buffers have the negative impact of life stress on balancing life activities. A hundred and thirty-six persons participated in the study. Consistent with expectations, action oriented individuals were able to maintain their balance as stress increased. State oriented individuals benefited in pleasant (low stress) situations. Under high stress, however, they lost their balance. In sum, action orientation ameliorated the negative impact of stress on balancing life activities.

The purpose of two presented studies was to examine how intention implementation and individual differences in processing of goals manner and action control efficiency influence subjective evaluation of progress in “personal projects” realization (Little, 1980). Assumed that intention implementation could compensate determined by personality difficulties in processing of goals manner and low action control efficiency. The basis for the constructing independent variables were: Peter. M. Gollwitzer’s (1996) action phase theory, model of personality created by Tadeusz Madrzycki (2002) and the strength of volition theory by Julius Kuhl (1996). The results of study 1 (N = 91) demonstrated that intention implementation resulted in the increased subjective evaluation of “personal projects” progress by participants displaying low level of “goal orientation”. Obtained in study 2 (N = 85) results confirmed positive effect of implemented intention on subjective evaluation of progress in goal attaining. State -oriented participants had higher indexes of subjective evaluation of progress after having intention implementation instruction applied. This result was interpreted as confirming compensating effect of intention implementation on action control mechanisms efficiency. Action oriented participants had the same indexes of subjective evaluation of progress regardless of intention implementation.
