This study investigates how trait curiosity influences employees’ psychological well-being and emotional exhaustion. Specifically, it proposes the mediating role of personal initiative in the abovementioned relationships. A total of 380 employees in China completed questionnaires that assessed their trait curiosity, personal initiative, psychological well-being, and emotional exhaustion states. Results indicate that personal initiative partially mediates the relationship between curiosity and psychological well-being, and fully mediates the relationship between curiosity and emotional exhaustion.
