Abstract Drawing upon conservation of resource theory, we identify a bright side as well as a potential dark side of conscientiousness, and thus regard conscientiousness as a mixed blessing. Analysis of data gathered across two waves from 203 employees in China showed that, although conscientiousness enhanced self-efficacy, which in turn promoted thriving at work, it also increased performance pressure, which in turn decreased thriving at work. Our theory and results provide meaningful insights into why conscientiousness increases versus inhibits thriving at work.
