“…We confirm hypothesis 1, that postulated that work-family conflict influences burnout levels, adding one more piece of evidence to the vast existing literature (Jerg-Bretzke et al 2020;Medrano & Trógolo, 2018;Smith et al, 2018;Terry & Woo, 2020). Nonetheless, as expected, we find some gender differences.…”

“…We find similar results at couple level. Our findings do not fully endorse the gender roles theory, but it is worth highlighting that most of the studies on family-work conflict and burnout do not differentiate between the two directions of conflict (Smith et al, 2018;Terry and Woo, 2020), the two dimensions of burnout (Jerg-Bretzke et al, 2020), or gender (Smith et al, 2018;Medrano & Trógolo, 2018); therefore we believe that the relevance of our results lies in this fact and could open a path for future studies.…”

“…Work and family are the most important facets in both women's and men's lives and conflictive demands arising from them have turned out to be one of the most relevant psycho-social risks in today's occupational world. Work-family conflict has serious consequences for employees and it is related to stress (Tziner & Sharoni, 2014), psychological health (Nigatu & Wang, 2018;Sun at al., 2020), and burnout (Jerg-Bretzke et al, 2020;Medrano & Trógolo, 2018;Smith et al, 2018;Terry & Woo, 2020), including its dimensions: emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation (Wang et al, 2012). Such outcomes of work-family conflicts, like burnout, could, for its part, develop into significant problems for employees and organizations (Palenzuela et al, 2019).…”

Despite the amount of research on family-work conflict and burnout, there persist questions about their relations and which coping strategies are the most effective. In this paper we address this issue from a gender perspective with a sample of 131 dual-earner couples developing both individual and couple analyses. The results at individual level yield gender differences when each of the two burnout components is explained. The main predictor of emotional exhaustion is workfamily conflict while family-work conflict is the main predictor of depersonalization, especially for men. Regarding coping strategies, behavioural coping is negatively related to male depersonalization. However, behavioral and emotional coping increases both burnout dimensions in women, particularly if family-work conflict is high. At couple level, findings confirm the relationship between conflicts and burnout and the moderating role of behavioural coping to explain emotional exhaustion.

The Human Relations Movement of the 1930s popularized the belief that happy workers were on average more productive than less happy or unhappy workers (Cropanzano & Wright, 2001; Wright, Cropanzano, & Bonnett, 2007). This view is usually known as the happy-productive worker hypothesis (HPWH), and both researchers and practitioners have become persuaded that it is essentially correct. Happy workers have been frequently conceptualized as the individuals scoring higher in job satisfaction scales and several metaanalytic studies examined the prediction that there was a positive correlation between job satisfaction and job performance. The first meta-analysis, by Iaffaldano and Muchinsky (1985), found an average observed correlation of .17 between job satisfaction and individual performance. A second meta-analysis, by Judge, Thorensen, Bono, and Patton (2001), found an average observed correlation of .18 (ρ = .30 when corrected for measurement error in both variables), although the magnitude of the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance was moderated by the study design (cross-sectional vs. longitudinal). In the case of longitudinal designs, the observed correlation was .14 (ρ = .23), and it was .18 (ρ = .31) for the crosssectional designs. Other studies have used measures of job burnout, job involvement, engagement, positive affect, neuroticism, and climate to characterize happy workers (

“…Several studies carried out on Argentine workers show the existence of problems and symptoms that deteriorate mental health and quality of life, for example, chronic fatigue, symptoms of anxiety, tension, emotional distress, feelings of inefficiency and low personal fulfillment, among others (Castellano, Muñoz-Navarro, Toledo, Spontón, & Medrano, 2019;Medrano & Trógolo, 2018. Although there are undoubtedly contextual factors that help explain these results; work-related health problems represent a transnational and transcultural problem (Bakker & Demerouti, 2013;Carod-Artal & Vázquez-Cabrera, 2012).…”

Título: Propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación en trabajadores argentinos. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio consistió en examinar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación para su uso en Argentina. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 505 trabajadores provenientes del sector público, privado y organizaciones no gubernamentales. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenciaron que un modelo de cuatro factores ─distanciamiento psicológico del trabajo, relajación, búsqueda de retos y control sobre el tiempo libre─ presentó un buen ajuste a los datos. Por lo tanto, el cuestionario mantiene la misma estructura que la escala original. Los análisis de confiabilidad mostraron que la escala posee una adecuada consistencia interna (α = .75 -.92) y fiabilidad de constructo (H = .88 -.93). Se examinó la validez test-criterio con medidas de burnout, work engagement y afecto, obteniéndose relaciones teóricamente esperadas. En conclusión, la escala posee adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para ser utilizada en el contexto argentino, permitiendo disponer de un instrumento confiable que permite profundizar el conocimiento sobre la recuperación y brindando una herramienta valiosa para la práctica profesional. Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire in Argentina. Five-hundred and five workers from public, private and non-governmental sectors participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor model has an acceptable fit to the data. Thus, as the original scale, the Argentinean validation maintains the four recovery experiencespsychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences and control over leisure time. Reliability analyses showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α ranging from .75 to .92) and construct reliability (coefficient H ranging from .88 to .93) for all sub-scales. Expected correlations with measures of work engagement, burnout and negative affect supported for criterion validity. Thus, the Recovery Experience Questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties for its use in Argentina, thereby providing a reliable instrument that allows deepening knowledge about recovery, and a valuable assessment tool for practitioners.
