“…Based on our findings, this future research should delve deeper into the processes by which modifying somatic conditions (e.g., appropriate clothes, sleep, and fresh air) fosters job performance. For instance, having slept sufficiently might lead employees to have more energy (Weigelt & Prem, 2021 ) and to perceive their work as less demanding (e.g., Casper & Wehrt, 2021 ), thus being better able to perform well. But why does modifying somatic conditions foster job performance more effectively than changing physical or social conditions?…”

Working from home during the COVID‐19 crisis: How self‐control strategies elucidate employees' job performance

Employees around the globe experience manifold challenges to maintain job performance during the so‐called work‐from‐home experiment caused by the COVID‐19 crisis. Whereas the self‐control literature suggests that higher trait self‐control should enable employees to deal with these demands more effectively, we know little about the underlying mechanisms. In a mixed‐methods approach and two waves of data collection, we examine how self‐control strategies elucidate the link between teleworking employees' trait self‐control and their job performance. Using a qualitative approach, we explored which strategies employees use to telework effectively ( N = 266). In line with the process model of self‐control, reported strategies pertained to situation modification (i.e., altering the physical, somatic, or social conditions) and cognitive change (i.e., goal setting, planning/scheduling, and autonomous motivation). Subsequent preregistered, quantitative analyses with a diverse sample of 106 teleworkers corroborated that higher trait self‐control is related to job performance beyond situational demands and prior performance. Among all self‐control strategies, modifying somatic conditions and autonomous motivation was significantly associated with job performance and mediated the self‐control‐performance link. This research provides novel insights into the processes by which employees productively work from home and inspires a broad(er) view on the topic of self‐control at work.

“…Related to this temporal aspect, research has traditionally examined work events and experiences that have already happened. Increasing evidence, however, suggests that also the anticipation of events and experiences can have an impact on well‐being (Rosen et al., 2020) and that well‐being states may influence anticipation processes (Casper & Wehrt, 2022). Accordingly, future studies will need to investigate the joint impact of anticipated and experienced workplace factors on health and well‐being, along with potential reverse effects.…”

Research in psychology and organizational behavior has made substantial progress in understanding what affects employee health and well-being. In this review article, we describe how characteristics of individual workplaces (job resources, job stressors), interpersonal and teamwork factors, leadership, and specific employee behaviors contribute to health and well-being. We summarize findings from intervention research and discuss how health and well-being, in turn, predict perceived work characteristics and behavior at work. We highlight emerging topics in the field (job-related health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, technology-enabled connectivity to work, microinterventions, dynamism in health and well-being). We include a cross-cultural and international perspective and address issues related to diversity and inclusion in organizations. We provide suggestions on how research can proceed in the future and point to practical implications that can improve employee health and well-being.

“…Past research has demonstrated that recovery experiences are important for employees’ well-being (Headrick et al, 2023; Sonnentag et al, 2022). For instance, recovery experiences have been examined with respect to breaks at work (e.g., Bennett et al, 2020; Sianoja et al, 2018), off-job time during evenings (e.g., Casper & Wehrt, 2022; S. L. Parker et al, 2020), and weekends (e.g., Binnewies et al, 2010; Fritz et al, 2010).…”

Focusing on the definition of recovery as a process, we examined how the four core recovery experiences (i.e., psychological detachment, relaxation, control, and mastery) develop during the evening. We tested whether the specific developments of recovery experiences are important for next-day favorable mood states-beyond the mean levels of recovery experiences. We collected data from 92 employees who completed daily morning and afternoon surveys over 10 workdays. In the morning surveys, we implemented the day-reconstruction method to assess detailed information about employees' recovery experiences during several episodes of the previous evening. Our final data set included 477 morning surveys with a total of 1,998 episodes and 383 afternoon surveys. Multilevel growth curve analyses showed that, in general, psychological detachment, relaxation, and control follow a positive linear trend and mastery a negative quadratic trend during the evening. Moreover, path analyses showed that the day-level increase of psychological detachment is important for next-day mood. Specifically, we found that after evenings during which employees experienced a higher increase in psychological detachment than they usually did, they had higher favorable mood states in the subsequent afternoon. Further, our results did not support associations between day-level slopes of relaxation, control, and mastery as well as next-day mood. Hence, our study demonstrates that recovery experiences systematically change during an evening and that this change is partially relevant for next-afternoon mood.
