“…Results support the view that WPC threatens recovery after work (Amstad & Semmer, 2009;Demerouti, Bakker, & Sanz-Vergel, 2013). Our study also supported the process model by Geurts and Sonnentag (2006), which postulates incomplete recovery as a link between acute work stressors and the development of health impairments.…”

“…Crain et al (2014) claimed that WPC frequently resulted in a loss of resources, 'primarily valued work roles, home roles, and time', and that such 'instances of resource loss are likely to result in strain and a lack of time that prevents individuals from attaining sufficient sleep quality and adequate amounts of sleep' (p. 157). One important aspect of WPC is that there often is simply not enough time for dealing with both work and family obligations (Amstad & Semmer, 2009) -time for work, private life, and sleep compete. One way to cope with WPC is to reduce sleeping time while being rather active just before going to sleep.…”

Previous research has shown that work-privacy conflict (WPC) is associated with musculoskeletal pain (MSP), but the processes involved are unclear. This study simultaneously tested strain and sleep problems as mediators in three mediation paths (WPC →strain→MSP; WPC →sleep problems→MSP; and WPC →strain→sleep problems→MSP). Total mediation (including all three mediation paths) was expected to be stronger in older compared to younger participants, in participants doing shift work compared to those with regular work time, and in women compared to men. In a representative sample of the Swiss working population (N = 3438), WPC, strain, sleep problems, and MSP were assessed by self-report. A set of linear regressions and bootstrapping were used to test the indirect path coefficients. All three mediation paths were significant (ps < .001). The total indirect effect was stronger in women compared to men (p = .036) but mediation did not differ based on working schedules or age. However, tests of higher order moderated mediation showed that mediation was significantly higher in women aged 45 or older who did shift work than in all other combinations (p = .036). A process model postulating strain and sleep problems to mediate the association between WPC and MSP was empirically supported. Work redesign should reduce WPC in order to reduce strain, prevent sleeping problems, and reduce work-related MSP. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…For instance, when a person attempts to boost feelings of competence by accomplishing more challenging tasks at work, she is less likely to engage in crafting efforts in leisure time due to depleted time and energy. Further, consistent with the spillover hypothesis, needs satisfaction and optimal functioning in one identity domain following crafting may spill over to other domains, resulting in similarities in domain-specific well-being (e.g., Amstad & Semmer, 2009;Geurts & Demerouti, 2003;Hecht & Boies, 2009;Staines, 1980).…”

In recent years, there has been heightened interest in the active role of employees in shaping activities and experiences in their pursuit of optimal functioning (i.e., feeling and performing well), referred to as job-, leisure-, home-, and work-life balance crafting. Various perspectives have emphasized distinct dimensions within the crafting process (i.e., motives, behaviors, life domains, and outcomes) yielding a rich but fragmented theoretical account. With psychological needs satisfaction as the underlying process, we propose an integrative model to account for past conceptualizations of crafting motives and efforts across a person´s various role identities. This integration highlights the importance of recognizing unfulfilled needs, matching needs and crafting efforts, within-and between-level temporal dynamics of the crafting process, and possibilities for spillover and compensation processes across identity domains. Accordingly, the Integrative Needs Model of Crafting explains a) why and how people craft, b) when and why crafting efforts may (not) be effective in achieving optimal functioning, c) the sequential process of crafting over time, and d) how crafting processes unfold across different identity domains.

“…Examining the relationships between work and home domains can contribute to a better understanding of the process of recovery (Amstad & Semmer, 2009). Moreover, despite the fact that sleep quality has been considered crucial for recovery (Zijlstra & de Vries, 2000), little is known about the role of this construct on the relationship between work–family spillover and general health (Williams et al., 2006).…”

Work-Home Interaction and Psychological Strain: The Moderating Role of Sleep Quality

et al. 2010

Sleep has been considered crucial for recovery, but little is known about the specific associations between the work-family interface and sleep quality. Based on COR theory, the goal of this study is to examine the moderating role of sleep quality on the relationship between work-home interaction (i.e. negative work-home interaction, negative home-work interaction, positive workhome interaction, and positive home-work interaction) and psychological strain. A total of 273 ambulance workers from Spain participated in the study. Multiple regression analyses revealed that sleep quality moderated the relationship between negative and positive home-work interaction and psychological strain. Findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.
