Studies have shown that positive work reflection during evening leisure time is related to short-term affective benefits at bedtime and in the next morning. This study examines whether the favourable outcomes of positive work reflection persist into the next workday and tests mediating processes between evening positive work reflection and next-day work engagement. Based on daily survey data from 152 employees (total of 687 days), we found that positive work reflection predicted next morning perceived work meaningfulness, next morning psychological availability, and next-day co-worker support. Perceived work meaningfulness and co-worker support, but not psychological availability, in turn, predicted afternoon work engagement. Work engagement predicted subsequent positive work reflection. This study demonstrates that positively thinking about work-related issues during leisure time is associated with positive outcomes during the next workday, which prompt subsequent positive work reflection.

晚上和次日工作中的积极工作反思：测试中介机制和循环过程

研究表明，晚间闲暇时间积极的工作反思与就寝时间和第二天早上的短期情感效益有关。这项研究检验了积极工作反思的有利结果是否会持续到下一个工作日，并测试晚上积极工作反思和第二天工作投入之间的中介过程。根据 152 名员工（共 687 天）的日常调查数据，我们发现积极的工作反思可以预测第二天早上感知到的工作意义、第二天早上的心理可用性和第二天的同事支持。感知到的工作意义和同事的支持，而不是心理可用性，反过来预测了下午的工作投入。工作投入预测了随后的积极工作反思。
