To address this critical limitation, we present a dual-pathway model grounded in the cognitive theory of rumination. By conceptualizing negative gossip as a signal of interpersonal \u201cgoal failure,\u201d we suggest its effects are more nuanced and enduring than previously assumed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We examined how negative gossip triggers distinct overnight responses through a multi-method approach. Study 1 employed an online recall experiment with 132 employees to establish the causal effect of negative gossip on two distinct forms of post-work information processing: problem-solving pondering and affective rumination. Building upon this, Study 2 utilized a daily diary design with 139 employees over 9 days to dynamically examine the lagged effects of these cognitive processes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Study 1 demonstrated that perceived negative gossip causes employees to engage in both problem-solving pondering and affective rumination. Multilevel analyses in Study 2 revealed that these lingering effects unfold in opposing directions: problem-solving pondering at night fosters strong emotion the next morning, which subsequently reduces work alienation. Conversely, affective rumination precipitates distress emotion the next morning, thereby exacerbating work alienation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings offer critical insights into the enduring and dual-edged nature of workplace gossip. By identifying the sequential cognitive-affective chains during and after non-work time, this study expands theoretical understandings of how daily gossip shapes next-day work experiences through both maladaptive strain and constructive mobilization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1824972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T04:25:51Z","timestamp":1785731151000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The lingering effects of perceived daily negative workplace gossip on next-day work alienation in China: a dual-pathway perspective of rumination and emotion"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Waiseng","family":"Lou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tingya","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guiquan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, Peking University","place":["Beijing, China"]},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Machine Perception (Ministry of Education), Peking University","place":["Beijing, China"]},{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interface and Mental Health Modulation, Peking University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1002\/hrdq.21562","article-title":"The many faces of talent management: Organizational perspectives on talent and talent management practices in Jordan.","volume":"37","author":"Aljbour","year":"2025","journal-title":"Hum.
