Recovery refers to the process of replenishing resources that occurs when employees distance themselves from their work, leading to improvements in work-related well-being indicators (WRWB), such as burnout and vigor. Research has shown that weekend activities are related to changes in WRWB and that recovery experiences could mediate these relationships. This study aimed to examine the indirect relationships of recovery activities on changes in burnout and vigor, through weekend recovery experiences. It extends past research by considering a greater number recovery activities and experiences and by controlling for job demands. Two hundred and forty-nine employees from various occupations completed two online surveys before and after the weekend, assessing their WRWB, weekend recovery activities and experiences, and job demands. Structural equation modeling revealed that after controlling for job demands, changes in burnout and vigor were positively predicted by a latent variable—the weekend recovery experience—subjacent to perceptions of detachment, relaxation, mastery, control, and relatedness. In addition, four out of six weekend activities predicted negative (work-related activities) or positive (social, physical, and creative activities) recovery experiences. Additional analyses showed that the recovery experience was a full mediator of the relationships between weekend activities and vigor change. These results confirm the importance of weekend activities and recovery experience for improving WRWB. They contribute to expanding current knowledge on recovery from work, highlighting the importance of considering creative activities and relatedness in future studies.

“你这个周末干什么了？” 周末活动、恢复体验和与工作相关的幸福感变化之间的关系

恢复是指当员工与工作保持距离时发生的补充资源的过程，从而导致与工作相关的幸福指数 (WRWB) 的改善，例如倦怠和活力。研究表明，周末活动与 WRWB 的变化有关，恢复经验可以调节这些关系。本研究旨在通过周末恢复体验来检查恢复活动对倦怠和活力变化的间接关系。它通过考虑更多的恢复活动和经验并控制工作需求来扩展过去的研究。来自不同职业的 249 名员工在周末前后完成了两次在线调查，评估了他们的 WRWB、周末恢复活动和经历以及工作需求。结构方程模型显示，在控制工作需求后，职业倦怠和活力的变化由潜在变量（周末恢复体验）正向预测，该变量取决于对分离、放松、掌握、控制和相关性的感知。此外，六分之四的周末活动预测了消极（与工作相关的活动）或积极（社交、体育和创造性活动）的恢复体验。其他分析表明，恢复体验是周末活动与活力变化之间关系的完全中介。这些结果证实了周末活动和恢复经验对于改善 WRWB 的重要性。它们有助于扩展当前关于从工作中恢复的知识，突出了在未来研究中考虑创造性活动和相关性的重要性。
