The relationship between self-control and work-related outcomes: What is the role of lifestyle? The relationship between self-control and work-related outcomes: What is the role of lifestyle? Having healthy employees is essential for employers. However, the lifestyles of Dutch employees are not all as healthy as they should. This study investigated the extent to which lifestyle mediates the relationship between self-control and work-related outcomes, including emotional exhaustion, sickness absence, work engagement, job satisfaction, and job performance. A total of 171 Dutch employees working in a variety of sectors participated in this cross-sectional survey. Self-control appeared to be positively associated with smoking, fruit, vegetable and snack consumption, alcohol consumption during the weekend, recovery experiences and sleep quality. We did not find associations with alcohol use during the week, candy consumption and physical exercise. Alcohol consumption during the weekend, recovery experiences and sleep quality mediated the relationships between self-control and a variety of work outcomes. Furthermore, smoking and vegetable consumption were associated with work-related outcomes. With these results, we hope to encourage future research and interventions regarding self-control, lifestyle and work-related outcomes.
Het hebben van gezonde werknemers is essentieel voor werkgevers. Echter, niet alle Nederlanders leven even gezond. In dit onderzoek werd onderzocht in hoeverre leefstijlgedragingen de relatie tussen zelfcontrole en de werkuitkomsten emotionele uitputting, ziekteverzuim, bevlogenheid, werktevredenheid en werkprestatie medieren. Er hebben 171 werkende Nederlanders afkomstig uit verschillende sectoren deelgenomen aan een cross-sectioneel vragenlijstonderzoek. Uit dit onderzoek kwam naar voren dat zelfcontrole samenhing met roken, fruit-, groente-en snackconsumptie, alcoholgebruik in het weekend, herstelervaring en slaapkwaliteit. We vonden echter geen verbanden met alcoholgebruik door de week, snoepconsumptie en beweging. Alcoholgebruik in het weekend, herstelervaringen en slaapkwaliteit bleken de relatie tussen zelfcontrole en diverse werkuitkomsten te mediëren. Daarnaast hingen roken en groenteconsumptie samen met werkuitkomsten. Met deze resultaten hopen we toekomstig onderzoek en interventies op het gebied van zelfcontrole, leefstijl en werkuitkomsten te stimuleren. * Wij bedanken Vitatools voor hun hulp bij de dataverzameling voor dit artikel. ** Annelot van Moerkerk was ten tijde van dit onderzoek masterstudent bij de Afdeling Sociale en
