Does occupational self-efficacy mediate the relationships between job insecurity and work-related learning? A latent growth modelling approach Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2021-02-24 Anahí Van Hootegem, Magnus Sverke, Hans De Witte
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether job insecurity is related to employee learning (i.e. the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies/characteristics; KSAOs) and whether occupational self-efficacy functions as a mediating mechanism in this relationship. We used three-wave longitudinal data, with a time lag of six months, collected among Flemish employees (N = 1708), and employed a latent

How to sleep well in times of high job demands: The supportive role of detachment and perceived social support Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2021-02-19 Eva Matick, Maria U. Kottwitz, Gunnar Lemmer, Kathleen Otto
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine whether employees who perceive there to be social support from supervisors and colleagues would be better able to detach from work during non-work time and thus sleep better in times of high job demands. Considering contextual factors, such as type of employment (full- and part-time) and supervisor status (with and without), which could influence the associations

Not just work-to-family conflict, but how you react to it matters for physical and mental health Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2021-02-18 Katie M. Lawson, Soomi Lee, Danka Maric
ABSTRACT Individuals with higher work-to-family conflict (WTFC) in general are more likely to report poorer physical and mental health. Less research, however, has examined the daily implications of WTFC, such as whether individuals’ reactions to minor WTFC day-to-day (e.g. missing family dinner due to work obligation) are associated with health outcomes. We examined whether affective reactivity to

Is it me or us? The impact of individual and collective participation on work engagement and burnout in a cluster-randomized organisational intervention Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2021-02-17 Karina Nielsen, Mirko Antino, Alfredo Rodríguez-Muñoz, Ana Sanz-Vergel
ABSTRACT Participation is generally recommended when implementing organisational interventions, however, understanding how participation works remains understudied. In a cluster-randomised, controlled intervention employing a wait-list control design, we explore whether perceptions of individual or collective participation had the greatest impact on a participatory organisational intervention’s outcomes;

Adding insult to injury: Illegitimate stressors and their association with situational well-being, social self-esteem, and desire for revenge Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-12-14 Norbert K. Semmer, Nicola Jacobshagen, Anita C. Keller, Laurenz L. Meier
ABSTRACT Implying an offense to self, appraising a stressor as indicating a lack of consideration by others should have effects beyond its stressfulness per se. In Stress-as-Offense-to-Self theory (SOS), such stressors are called “illegitimate stressors.” We assessed situations appraised as stressful in two diary studies (N1 = 117, N2 = 137). Outcome variables were feelings of resentment in both

Does work engagement physiologically deplete? Results from a daily diary study Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-12-10 Anja Baethge, Nina M. Junker, Thomas Rigotti
ABSTRACT Based on the conservation of resources theory, we argue that work engagement involves resource investment, and therefore physiologically depletes resources. On this basis, we propose that work engagement accompanies high sympathetic arousal at the within- and the between-person levels, i.e. a negative objective health effect contrary to previous findings of beneficial effects on subjective

The cognitive costs of managing emotions: A systematic review of the impact of emotional requirements on cognitive performance Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-10-26 Godelieve Hofstee, Paul G. W. Jansen, Annet H. De Lange, Brian R. Spisak, Maaike Swinkels
ABSTRACT In our increasingly service-based world, employees are now, more than ever before, required to manage the emotional demands inherent to client interactions. These emotional demands can be fuelled by emotional display rules that are part of an organisational policy. However, what differentiates client interactions from other circumstances is that not only emotional performance standards should

The ups and downs of felt job insecurity and job performance: The moderating role of informational justice Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-10-21 Désirée Schumacher, Bert Schreurs, Nele De Cuyper, Ilke Grosemans
ABSTRACT In two intra-individual studies, we examine how felt job insecurity relates to job performance. Based on conservation of resources theory, we argue that there is a negative intra-individual relation between felt job insecurity and job performance. Informational justice is expected to moderate this within-person relationship, so that the relationship between felt job insecurity and job performance

A conservation of resources view of the relationship between transformational leadership and emotional exhaustion: The role of extra effort and psychological detachment Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-10-15 Maie Stein, Marlies Schümann, Sylvie Vincent-Höper
ABSTRACT In this study, we draw on conservation of resources theory to suggest that transformational leaders’ encouragement of extra effort in followers might reduce or increase followers’ emotional exhaustion depending on their ability to replenish energy reserves. Specifically, we argue that the indirect relationship between transformational leadership (TFL) and followers’ emotional exhaustion via

Caregiver burden, work-family conflict, family-work conflict, and mental health of caregivers: A mediational longitudinal study Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-10-14 Alper Kayaalp, Kyle J. Page, Kathleen M. Rospenda
ABSTRACT Caregivers are responsible for the care of another, such as a young adult, disabled child, elderly parent, or sick spouse. Individuals who have caregiving responsibilities must blend the often-contradictory behavioural expectations from the different roles in which they reside. Building on the theoretical foundations of Conservation of Resources theory, this study tests a mediational model

A longitudinal perspective on the associations between work engagement and workaholism Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-08-04 István Tóth-Király, Alexandre J. S. Morin, Katariina Salmela-Aro
ABSTRACT The purpose of this two-wave longitudinal study was to examine the associations between work engagement and workaholism to better understand the psychological mechanisms underpinning high levels of work investment. These associations were examined in a sample of 514 employees using latent change models, allowing us to obtain a direct and explicit estimate of change occurring in both constructs

High-involvement work practices and conflict management procedures as moderators of the workplace bullying–wellbeing relationship Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-07-31 Maria Törnroos, Denise Salin, Linda Magnusson Hanson
ABSTRACT Despite the serious consequences of exposure to workplace bullying for the wellbeing of individuals and functioning of organisations, few studies have investigated how organisational practices could reduce the negative impact of bullying on employee wellbeing. In the present study, we investigate the longitudinal association of exposure to workplace bullying with depressive symptoms and sleep

ABSTRACT We conducted 3 studies to investigate how poor quality sleep relates to work injuries. First, using a sample of employed people living in the United Kingdom (N = 4,238; Study 1), we found that poor quality sleep was related to more frequent workplace injuries via negative affect rather than cognitive failures. Second, we again compared parallel pathways using a sample of USA employees (N = 202;

Pregnancy and workplace accidents: The impact of stereotype threat Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-06-05 Lindsey M. Lavaysse, Tahira M. Probst
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of stereotype threat (ST), the fear of confirming negative assumptions about a group to which one belongs (Steele, C. M. [1997]. A threat in the air: How stereotypes shape intellectual identity and performance. American Psychologist, 52(6), 613–629), on the safety performance of pregnant workers. To avoid being stereotyped, pregnant employees may engage in concealing

Proactivity, stress appraisals, and problem-solving: A cross-level moderated mediation model Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-05-21 Andrea Espedido, Ben J. Searle
ABSTRACT Problem-solving demands have been shown to exert both positive and negative effects on employees. We examined whether these inconsistencies could be explained by the way people appraise (interpret) their problem-solving demands, either as a challenge or a threat. We proposed a cross-level moderated mediation model whereby the effects of problem-solving demands on a range of proactive behaviours

Occupational self-efficacy and work engagement as moderators in the stressor-detachment model Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-03-31 Elisa Clauss, Annekatrin Hoppe, Vivian Schachler, Deirdre O’Shea
ABSTRACT Psychological detachment from work is crucial for employees to replenish resources and maintain well-being. In this study, we tested the stressor detachment model (Sonnentag & Fritz, 2015. Recovery from job stress: The stressor-detachment model as an integrative framework. Journal of Organizational Behavior, 36(S1), S72–S103. https://doi.org/10.1002/job.1924) by examining the mediation of

Living to work: The role of occupational calling in response to challenge and hindrance stressors Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-03-20 Chloe A. Wilson, Thomas W. Britt
ABSTRACT The present study examined how occupational calling affects the relationships between challenge and hindrance stressors, work motivation, and mental health symptoms. Individuals experience the presence of calling as a result of a transcendent summons (i.e. feeling called to a particular line of work), being engaged in purposeful work, or having a prosocial orientation to work as giving back

The impact of workaholism on day-level workload and emotional exhaustion, and on longer-term job performance Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-03-09 Cristian Balducci, Guido Alessandri, Sara Zaniboni, Lorenzo Avanzi, Laura Borgogni, Franco Fraccaroli
ABSTRACT By drawing on effort-recovery theory, we conducted two studies to explore the short-term process through which workaholism may affect health and to assess the implications of such a process for job performance. In Study 1 we hypothesised that workaholic tendencies would affect daily workload and that daily workload would mediate the relationship between workaholic tendencies and daily emotional

ABSTRACT There is a broad consensus that associations exist between leadership behaviour and employee health. However, much less is known about potential mediating processes underlying links between specific leader behaviours, for instance presenteeism (i.e. working while being ill), and indicators of employee health, such as sick leave. Integrating theories of social information processing, social

ABSTRACT Organisational changes do not always achieve their intended outcomes and have been found to have negative consequences on employee wellbeing. It has been argued that this is because change processes need to support employees adopting the change. In the present study, we study an organisational change aimed to improve employee capacity to provide eHealth services. To support the change, employees

Validation of the QJIM: A measure of qualitative job insecurity Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-02-14 Iris Blotenberg, Anne Richter
ABSTRACT Organisations are subject to ongoing changes. These changes offer opportunities but they can also increase the uncertainty about the future of jobs. Although there is a large body of literature on job insecurity, most studies focus on the worry of losing the job while another important stressor, namely the worry of losing valued job features, received less attention. The key contribution of

Workplace bullying as predicted by non-prototypicality, group identification and norms: a self-categorisation perspective Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2020-01-27 Mats Glambek, Ståle Valvatne Einarsen, Guy Notelaers
ABSTRACT Research and theory on deviance in work groups suggest that non-prototypical members risk devaluation and mistreatment by their peers. Drawing on the self-categorisation theory, we propose and test a contextual model to explain workplace bullying from a target perspective, using non-prototypicality as a predictor and social identification and anti-bullying norms at the work group level as

ABSTRACT While social support is generally considered a helpful resource for employees, it can also serve as a job stressor. Unhelpful workplace social support (UWSS) is any action taken by a supervisor and/or colleague that the recipient believes was intended to benefit him or her but is perceived as unhelpful or harmful. Two studies, one qualitative and one quantitative, identified types of UWSS

ABSTRACT Work engagement is currently one of the most popular outcomes in occupational health psychology. According to the motivational process within the job demands-resources (JD-R) framework, job resources stimulate work engagement, which in turn fosters job performance. While the general positive impact of job resources on work engagement is well established, it remains unclear how different types

Coping styles and coping resources in the work stressors–workplace bullying relationship: A two-wave study Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-09-18 Whitney Van den Brande, Elfi Baillien, Tinne Vander Elst, Hans De Witte, Lode Godderis
ABSTRACT This study investigated coping styles and coping resources in the relationship between work stressors and exposure to workplace bullying. A two-wave survey was conducted (N = 482) to investigate whether T1 emotion-focused coping amplifies the positive lagged relationship from T1 role conflict and role ambiguity to T2 bullying. T1 problem-focused coping was predicted to buffer this relationship

The differential role of job demands in relation to nonwork domain outcomes based on the challenge-hindrance framework Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-09-06 Jennica R. Webster, Gary A. Adams
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to meta-analytically test a novel theoretical model examining a dual stressor and dual process model relating demands in the work domain to outcomes in the nonwork domain. The foundation for this model rested upon the challenge-hindrance framework and the role depletion and role enhancement perspectives derived from role theory as applied to the work-nonwork interface

Socio-emotional and monetary employee-organization resource exchanges: Measurement and effects on daily employee functioning Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-05-29 Maria Tomprou, Despoina Xanthopoulou, Maria Vakola
ABSTRACT Daily exchanges between employees and their organisation pertain mainly to socio-emotional resources. We investigate how daily employee-organizational resource exchanges relate to daily strain and work-related self-efficacy. We also examine the role of perceived organisational monetary investments on the relationship between daily employee resource investments and outcomes. To do so, we assess

ABSTRACT While the link between leadership and follower well-being is well established, less is known about the relation between leaders’ leadership behaviour and their own well-being. Particularly, a systematic integration of existing studies is missing. Based on an integrated framework summarising major theories on the leader well-being–leadership link, we quantitatively synthesised findings on the

ABSTRACT Studies on the effects of leadership in occupational health psychology build on the assumption that leaders influence their followers’ health and well-being. Although this assumption has received support, this introductory paper to a special issue of Work & Stress on leadership argues that a number of questions regarding leadership and follower health and well-being remain unanswered.

ABSTRACT Although studies suggest that transformational leaders play an important role in employee health and well-being, the relationship between transformational leadership and employee burnout remains unclear. One reason may be that moderators may play an important role. Building on conservation of resources theory, we examined if leaders’ perceptions of internal and external resources in terms

Out of mind, out of sight? Leading distributed workers to ensure health and safety Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-03-07 Karina Nielsen, Kevin Daniels, Rachel Nayani, Emma Donaldson-Feilder, Rachel Lewis
ABSTRACT Current frameworks of leadership are based on face-to-face interaction. A growing number of workers work away from their main location of work; this makes it challenging for leaders to ensure the health and safety of distributed workers. In the present study, we explore the relationship between line managers’ health and safety leadership and distributed workers’ health and safety behaviours

Peers, proactivity, and problem-solving: A multilevel study of team impacts on stress appraisals of problem-solving demands Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-03-07 Andrea Espedido, Ben J. Searle, Barbara Griffin
ABSTRACT To date, there is a paucity of research on team-level impacts on the individual stress appraisal process despite the recognised role of teams for solving problems. Applying a multilevel approach, this study investigates the cross-level impact of team problem prevention behaviours on employee stress appraisals of problem-solving demands. It was hypothesised that team problem prevention would

ABSTRACT Work interruptions are contemporary job stressors that occur frequently in the workplace. Theories on work interruptions and the stressor–strain relationship over time suggest that work interruptions should have a lagged negative effect on well-being. However, we argue that continued changes in work interruptions may also be important for employees’ well-being. We investigated the mid- and

The effects of employee burnout on customers: An experimental approach Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2019-02-07 Hadar Nesher Shoshan, Sabine Sonnentag
ABSTRACT This study investigated the different effects of employee burnout dimensions (depersonalisation and emotional exhaustion) on customer service perceptions. We hypothesised that customers who interact with depersonalising employees will feel angry and hostile, which, in turn, should be related to low service perceptions. Emotional exhaustion was hypothesised to attenuate this effect because

The job demands-resources model: A meta-analytic review of longitudinal studies Work & Stress (IF 3.634) Pub Date : 2018-10-02 Tino Lesener, Burkhard Gusy, Christine Wolter
ABSTRACT The job demands-resources (JD-R) model is an influential framework to understand how job characteristics foster employee well-being. Differing from the cross-sectional focus of most JD-R model reviews, this meta-analytic review uses longitudinal evidence to validate the essential assumptions within the JD-R model. We highlight two aspects: (1) The assessment of the methodological quality of
