It’s a new day – is it? Testing accumulation and sensitisation effects of workload on fatigue in daily diary studies Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2023-08-28 Anita C. Keller, Laurenz L. Meier
ABSTRACT Studies investigating the stressor–strain relation using daily diary designs have been interested in within-person deviations that predict well-being outcomes on the same day. These models typically have not accounted for the possibility of short-term accumulation (i.e. previous stressor experiences having a lasting effect and affecting strain on subsequent occasions) and sensitisation (i

Supervisor off-work boundary infringements: Perspective-taking as a resource for after-hours intrusions Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2023-02-08 Jacob McCartney, Jennifer Franczak, Katerina Gonzalez, Angela T. Hall, Wayne A. Hochwarter, Samantha L. Jordan, Wajda Wikhamn, Abdul Karim Khan, Mayowa T. Babalola
ABSTRACT Constant connectivity is prevalent in modern workplaces, aided by smartphones and email. Supervisors may further pressure their subordinates to remain connected to work through their after-hours communications. We develop the concept of supervisor off-work boundary infringements (SBI) or supervisor intrusions during subordinates’ nonwork hours, which are becoming widespread due to expectations

What influences the relationship between workplace bullying and employee well-being? A systematic review of moderators Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2023-01-23 Samuel Farley, Daniella Mokhtar, Kara Ng, Karen Niven
ABSTRACT Researchers have consistently shown the detrimental effects that workplace bullying has on employee well-being. While there have been many studies examining moderating factors that worsen or mitigate bullying’s effects, the field lacks a common theoretical framework to integrate and explain these diverse moderators. The aim of this systematic review is to identify, categorise, and evaluate

Illegitimate tasks: A systematic literature review and agenda for future research Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2022-11-18 Haien Ding, Bård Kuvaas
ABSTRACT Although expecting to undertake core tasks affirming their professional identity, employees often have to deal with tasks they perceive as unnecessary or unreasonable. The concept of illegitimate tasks captures this phenomenon and has attracted growing attention since its first appearance. Illegitimate tasks have been found to explain unique variance in well-being and strain. Given a burgeoning

ABSTRACT Previous meta-analyses showed that challenge stressors are, though stressful, also motivating. However, their hypothesised gains related to learning are less well understood. In addition to the lack of meta-analytical assessments, there are conflicting theoretical perspectives on the learning effects of challenge stressors. In contrast to the challenge–hindrance stressor framework, action

Challenging challenge and hindrance appraisals Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2022-10-13 Sharon Glazer, Andrei Ion
ABSTRACT This study extends earlier works that focused on stressor appraisals (stressor as challenge and stressor as hindrance) as mediators of stressors and psychological strains. We also tested whether psychological strains would then affect organisational outcomes. Survey data were gathered from a general sample of 237 full-time employees at three time points. The first time was a screener survey

Dealing with daily boredom at work: does self-control explain who engages in distractive behaviour or job crafting as a coping mechanism? Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2022-10-11 Madelon L. M. van Hooff, Edwin A. J. van Hooft
ABSTRACT This study aimed to advance insight into how employees cope with work-related boredom by developing and testing a control-process model of coping with boredom. We examined (1) the role of trait self-control in explaining whether employees cope with daily work-related boredom by engaging in distractive behaviour or job crafting, and (2) how these two coping behaviours link to changes in work-related

ABSTRACT Despite converging theoretical arguments regarding non-linear relationships between workload and employee attitudes (i.e. job satisfaction) and mental well-being outcomes, prior empirical support for these curvilinear effects has been mixed. In this study we offer and test two potential explanations that may help to reconcile this discrepancy. First, existing workload scales do not assess

ABSTRACT The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model is a well-recognized theoretical framework assessing the impact of job demands and resources on well-being. Though the model conceptualises job demands and resources in terms of how jobs are both objectively designed and subjectively experienced, most studies have relied only on subjective self-reported data. In a comprehensive test of the model, our

ABSTRACT A high workload has long been considered a harmful stressor that adversely affects employees. In the current study, we propose that work underload also has negative implications for employees, and that there is a curvilinear relationship between daily workload and rumination. These negative consequences can carry over to the next day. We collected data from a sample of 137 employees over the

A within-individual investigation on the relationship between day level workaholism and systolic blood pressure Work & Stress (IF 7.358) Pub Date : 2021-09-10 Cristian Balducci, Paola Spagnoli, Stefano Toderi, Malissa A. Clark
ABSTRACT Most research on workaholism has been conducted at the between-person level and has considered mainly psychological outcomes of the phenomenon (e.g. burnout, job satisfaction). Building on the allostatic load model and on the idea that workaholic cognition and behaviour may show variation at the within-person level, we tested the hypothesis that fluctuations in daily workaholism would be related

ABSTRACT While most of the workplace bullying research has focused on targets and the devastating consequences they face from being exposed to such negative behaviour, bullying does not occur in a social vacuum. Previous research has suggested that people who are exposed to bullying sometimes engage in such behaviour themselves. In this paper, we wanted to test the reciprocal nature of bullying behaviour
