    Previous research showed that psychological detachment from work during leisure time is beneficial and that reflecting on negative aspects of work is detrimental for employees' well-being. However, little is known about the role of positive reflection about work during leisure time. In the present research, we examined the effects of positive work reflection on affective well-being. Additionally, we tested the effectiveness of an intervention to increase positive work reflection and to improve well-being with a randomized controlled field experiment. Findings from three diary studies showed that positive work reflection was related to an increase in affective well-being with regard to both positive and negative moods. The results further indicated that the benefits of positive work reflection were incremental to that of psychological detachment and the absence of negative work reflection. Contrary to our expectation, no evidence was found for the effectiveness of the intervention. Theoretical implications of main findings as well as supplementary findings are further discussed

    Illegitimate tasks, a recently introduced occupational stressor, are tasks that violate norms about what an em-ployee can reasonably be expected to do. Because they are considered a threat to one’s professional identity,we expected that the daily experience of illegitimate tasks would be linked to a drop in self-esteem and to im-paired well-being. We report results of two daily diary studies, one in which 57 Swiss employees wereassessed twice/day and one in which 90 Americans were assessed three times/day. Both studies showed thatillegitimate tasks were associated with lowered state self-esteem. Study 1 demonstrated that high trait self-esteem mitigated that relationship. Study 2 showed that illegitimate tasks were associated with not onlylowered state self-esteem but also lower job satisfaction and higher anger and depressive mood, but not angeror job satisfaction remained elevated until the following morning
