Abstract

Self-criticism and fear of self-compassion are opposing factors to self-compassion, which has been associated with benefits for the environment of labor and was considered a resource for work in the Job Demand-Resources (JD-R) model. The goal of this narrative review was to explore data on self-criticism and fear of self-compassion in samples of workers and in relation to labor variables. Twenty four studies were included after a search in Google Scholar and PubMed. Results revealed associations among self-criticism, fear of self-compassion, and negative health and work outcomes and that compassion-focused interventions were more successful for fear of self-compassion. This article contributes to the area by adding the hypothesis that self-criticism might operate as a personal demand in the JD-R model. In order to verify this hypothesis, a systematic review is recommended. This research suggests conducting future research in Latin America and diverse professional contexts.

Keywords: self-criticism, compassion, work.
