Toward a Dynamic Understanding of Work–Family Boundary Management : A Control Theory Perspective
It’s a new day – is it? Testing accumulation and sensitisation effects of workload on fatigue in daily diary studies
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.e. previous stressor experiences amplifying subsequent reactions to stressors) effects of stressors such as workload across days. In this study, we test immediate, accumulation, and sensitisation effects of workload on fatigue within and across days using four diary studies (mean observations = 1,406; mean N = 166). In all four studies, we observed that workload had positive concurrent effects on fatigue. In addition, we found that workload had positive effects on fatigue within one day. However, there was insufficient support for short-term accumulation or sensitisation effects, implying that higher levels of workload on previous days did not directly affect or amplify the effect of workload on fatigue on that day. We discuss implications for recovery theories and potential future avenues to refine the theoretical propositions that describe intra-individual stress and recovery processes across days.
Is Burnout a Depressive Condition? A 14-Sample Meta-Analytic and Bifactor Analytic Study
There is no consensus on whether burnout constitutes a depressive condition or an original entity requiring specific medical and legal recognition. In this study, we examined burnout–depression overlap using 14 samples of individuals from various countries and occupational domains ( N = 12,417). Meta-analytically pooled disattenuated correlations indicated (a) that exhaustion—burnout’s core—is more closely associated with depressive symptoms than with the other putative dimensions of burnout (detachment and efficacy) and (b) that the exhaustion–depression association is problematically strong from a discriminant validity standpoint ( r = .80). The overlap of burnout’s core dimension with depression was further illuminated in 14 exploratory structural equation modeling bifactor analyses. Given their consistency across countries, languages, occupations, measures, and methods, our results offer a solid base of evidence in support of the view that burnout problematically overlaps with depression. We conclude by outlining avenues of research that depart from the use of the burnout construct.
The intersection between work and family roles and its relationship with self-esteem, guilt, and well-being in general at the intrapersonal and interpersonal level: A theoretical and methodological perspective
This thesis examines the interplay between work and family roles. I examine both the intrapersonal and interpersonal perspectives. The first two studies focus on work-family conflict and its effects on self-conscious attitude (i.e., self-esteem) and on self-conscious emotion (i.e., work-family guilt). The third study focuses on the interpersonal perspective of work-family interaction. The fourth study is a methodological article that provides evidence for the study design in study 2. The four integrated studies also differ methodologically. For example, work-family conflict is examined at the level of everyday life and at the level of long-term effects (study 1 and 2). The third and fourth studies are meta-analyses that shed light on the topic of work-family conflict at the interpersonal level on the basis of primary studies (study 3) and also provide a deeper understanding of two analytical methods (i.e., CLPM and RI-CLPM) (study 4). The individual studies are embedded in previous research and discussed in a broader context.
On the asymmetry of losses and gains: Implications of changing work conditions for well-being.
Moving from opposition to taking ownership of open science to make discoveries that matter
Promoting well-being in the workplace: the Impact of empathy, prosocial behaviors, and prospective thoughts in the positive psychology framework
In today's work environment, prioritizing employee well-being is essential. This thesis explores the role of empathy, prosocial behaviors, and prospective thoughts in enhancing workplace well-being, contributing to the field of positive psychology. By integrating these elements, the research highlights their contributions to positive psychological frameworks like the broaden-and-build theory, individual concepts such as Psychological Capital and character strengths, and positive relationships at the group level. This thesis spans three studies, investigating cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social antecedents of well-being. The first study examines empathy in the workplace, exploring both trait and state levels, as well as its affective and cognitive components, and their impacts on well-being and supportive behaviors. The second study focuses on the effects of observing prosocial behaviors on an observer's well-being and job satisfaction, considering social connectedness and helping pressure as moderators. The third study investigates the impact of positive and negative, as well as social and task-related prospective thoughts during leisure time on employee well-being and work engagement, considering the moderating effect of work centrality. By integrating these constructs, this thesis aims to provide a holistic understanding of the factors that contribute to a supportive and healthy work environment. This dissertation highlights the importance of positive psychological frameworks in fostering employee well-being and organizational health while also providing a nuanced perspective.
