Abstract

This study examines the social-psychological dimensions of performance evaluation systems in regional equity trading centers, using Henan Zhongyuan Equity Exchange Center as a case study. Through comprehensive empirical analysis of data from 2019 to 2023, the research employs multiple methodological approaches to investigate how social dynamics and psychological factors influence evaluation effectiveness. The findings reveal significant positive effects of evaluation systems on employee psychological well-being and organizational climate (β = 0.385, p < 0.01), with the relationship mediated by social support systems (β = 0.124), interpersonal trust (β = 0.078), and collective organizational identity (β = 0.047). Social context analysis demonstrates stronger effects in departments with high psychological safety and collaborative cultures. The moderation analysis identifies organizational support as a crucial amplifying factor, with high support environments showing substantially stronger effects (β = 0.70) compared to low support conditions (β = 0.30). Dynamic analysis confirms the temporal stability of these social-psychological relationships. These findings contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical implementation of psychologically informed performance evaluation systems in organizations, with implications extending beyond equity trading centers to various financial institutions and corporate environments where psychological safety and performance evaluation intersect.
