Circadian processes are important for employees and organizations yet have been relatively underexplored in recovery research. Thus, we embed the concept of circadian misalignment into the recovery literature by investigating the moderating role of employees' daily social sleep lag (i.e., a discrepancy between employees' actual and biologically preferred sleep–wake times) in their recovery processes. Building on the effort-recovery model and a circadian perspective on recovery, we propose that low relaxation and mastery experiences explain the relationship between workplace interpersonal conflicts and low next-morning vigor. Concerning circadian misalignment, we investigated whether daily social sleep lag impedes the occurrence and effectiveness of after-work recovery experiences (i.e., moderates the relationships with interpersonal conflicts and vigor, respectively). Results of a daily diary study with 274 employees (1926 days) demonstrated that low mastery experiences, but not relaxation, explained the negative association between interpersonal conflicts and next-morning vigor. Additionally, mastery experiences translated less to next-morning vigor on days with high (vs. low) social sleep lag. Investigating circadian misalignment can thus help determine under which circumstances employees best recover from work, highlighting the need to take circadian processes into account in recovery research.

注意偏差：日常社交睡眠滞后在员工恢复过程中的调节作用


昼夜节律过程对于员工和组织来说很重要，但在恢复研究中相对未得到充分探索。因此，我们通过调查员工的日常社交睡眠滞后（即员工的实际睡眠-觉醒时间与生物偏好的睡眠-觉醒时间之间的差异）在恢复过程中的调节作用，将昼夜节律失调的概念嵌入到恢复文献中。基于努力恢复模型和恢复的昼夜节律视角，我们提出低放松和掌握体验可以解释工作场所人际冲突和第二天早上活力低之间的关系。关于昼夜节律失调，我们调查了日常社交睡眠滞后是否会阻碍下班后恢复体验的发生和有效性（即分别调节与人际冲突和活力的关系）。对 274 名员工（1926 天）进行的每日日记研究的结果表明，低掌控体验（而不是放松）解释了人际冲突和第二天早上活力之间的负相关关系。此外，在社交睡眠延迟较高（相对于较低）的日子里，掌握体验对第二天早上的活力的影响较小。因此，调查昼夜节律失调可以帮助确定员工在什么情况下从工作中恢复得最好，这凸显了在恢复研究中考虑昼夜节律过程的必要性。
