This paper explores the occupational psychological mechanism of forest farm staff from the psychological perspetive. A total of 450 questionnaires were delivered to three state-owned forest farms, and 387 questionnaires were valid, i. e., the recovery rate was 86%. The results validated the double-path model of job-related characteristics affecting the forest farm staff's happiness experiences, the job demand positively predicted subjective well-being and emotional well- being of staff. The job demand affected the happiness of staff by the mediation of job-family conflict.

Job resources positively predicted the subjective well-being and emotional well-being of forest farm staff; the job demand affected the happiness of staff by the mediation of job-family promotion. Personality traits demonstrated moderating effects on the dual-path model, specifically, the extroversion and pleasantness of the personality traits buffered the negative impact of job-family conflict on the happiness experience, the pleasantness had a moderating effect on the relationship between job-family promotion and happiness, and the pleasantness increased the positive impact of the job-family promotion to the happiness experience.
