While academic research on recovery was rather segregated between occupational health psychology and management research at the beginning of the 20s century and streams of research developed independently, recent developments hint at a closing divide and better integration of recovery research across disciplines. This for example becomes evident in publications of researchers across the traditional outlets within both fields, as well as increasing close collaborations of researchers firmly rooted in one of the fields. In preparation of this special issue, the editors were interested in whether this development represents a convergence or even a true merging of research in these different disciplines. We therefore interviewed Prof. Sabine Sonnentag as expert from occupational health psychology research and Prof. Ute Stephan with expertise in management research. Both are excellent and world-famous researchers in their disciplines. We discussed the current state, the advances during the last years, and the future directions of recovery research in their respective fields. We also talked about their perspectives on integrative topics and about specific issues in both domains that might stimulate a new recovery management research agenda.

尽管在20世纪初，关于恢复的学术研究在职业健康心理学和管理研究之间是相当隔离的，并且研​​究流是独立发展的，但最近的发展表明，跨学科的恢复研究之间存在着缩小的分歧和更好的整合。例如，这在这两个领域的传统研究机构的研究人员的出版物中变得明显，并且扎根于其中一个领域的研究人员之间的紧密合作也日益紧密。在准备本期特刊时，编辑们对这种发展是否代表着这些不同学科的研究是趋同还是真正融合感到感兴趣。因此，我们采访了来自职业健康心理学研究的专家Sabine Sonnentag教授和教授。Ute Stephan拥有管理研究方面的专业知识。两者都是其学科中优秀的和举世闻名的研究人员。我们讨论了当前状态，最近几年的进展以及各自领域中恢复研究的未来方向。我们还讨论了他们对整合主题的观点以及在这两个领域中可能激发新思维的特定问题恢复管理研究议程。
