In this diary study, we focused on the anticipatory phase of the stress process. We investigated how work‐related worry and planning during the evening relate to next‐morning exhaustion and vigour, respectively. Moreover, we examined how afternoon workload anticipation is related to next‐morning exhaustion versus next‐morning vigour, depending on worry and planning in the evening. A sample of 112 employees took part in a daily diary study with three daily measurement occasions over two consecutive workweeks. Results of multilevel regression analyses showed that work‐related worry during the evening was positively related to next‐morning exhaustion. Moreover, worry interacted with workload anticipation in predicting next‐morning exhaustion: On days when worry was high, workload anticipation was positively related to next‐morning exhaustion. Work‐related planning was not related to next‐morning vigour and did not interact with workload anticipation in predicting next‐morning vigour. Our study suggests that work‐related worry is an important factor in the anticipatory phase of the stress process.

预期工作量大而感到精疲力竭或精力旺盛？晚上担心和计划的作用

在本日记研究中，我们集中于压力过程的预期阶段。我们调查了晚上与工作相关的忧虑和计划与下一个疲惫和精力旺盛的关系。此外，我们根据下午的担忧和计划，研究了下午工作负荷的预期与次日疲劳与次日精力之间的关系。样本112名员工参加了每日日记研究，连续两个工作周进行了3次每日测量。多级回归分析的结果表明，晚上与工作有关的忧虑与下一次疲惫呈正相关。此外，忧虑与工作负荷预期在预测下一次疲惫之间有相互作用：在忧虑强烈的日子里，工作负荷预期与下一次疲惫正相关。与工作相关的计划与下一个早晨的精力无关，并且在预测下一个早晨的精力时没有与工作量预期交互。我们的研究表明，与工作相关的担忧是压力过程预期阶段的重要因素。
