“…In doing so, we aimed to both improve our understanding of the underlying process and to reduce shared (method) variance in our assessments. However, the extent to which concurrent measurements blur actual effects is an open question: A recent meta-analysis (Pindek, Arvan, & Spector, 2018) suggested that the associations between job stressors and strain tended to be weaker when predictors and outcomes were assessed concurrently in comparison with studies in which strain indicators were measured later in time than job stressors (i.e., when the supposed processes had time to unfold). Put differently, the time lag between the assessments might be a crucial (and overlooked) determinant of the divergent estimates across studies (see Kuiper & Oisín, 2019).…”

Psychological detachment has been proposed to be a mediator of the relations between an individual’s responses to stressful work-related experiences and mid- and long-term health. However, the number of studies that have specifically examined the role that personal characteristics play in these associations is considerably small. One personal characteristic that might specifically interfere with psychological detachment is perfectionism, which has been considered an important vulnerability factor for the development of psychological disorders. Hence, the goal of this registered report was to extend research on psychological detachment by introducing trait and state perfectionism as moderators of the aforementioned relations. We conducted an experience sampling study with three measurement occasions per day over the course of 3 working weeks (N = 158 employees; M = 41.6; 67% women). Multilevel path models showed that perfectionistic concerns consistently determined strain responses at between- and within-levels of analyses even after the effects of job demands (i.e., unfinished tasks and role ambiguity) and detachment were accounted for. However, we found no evidence for the proposed moderation effects. The theoretical implications for the understanding of the processes proposed in the stressor-detachment model are discussed.

“…Furthermore, two measurements per day have been taken with a time lag of four hours. In line with Pindek et al (2019) this can be considered a strength as they found that the magnitude of the stressorstrain relationship was stronger when the stressor was measured prior to the strain but within the same day. Consequently, they concluded that the manifestation of stressor-strain effects might take some time.…”

“…Furthermore, negative effects of time pressure on emotional exhaustion have been shown on the day-level as well (Prem et al, 2018). Further support for the assumed positive relationship of time pressure and emotional exhaustion on the day-level comes from Pindek et al (2019) who found a positive stressor-strain relationship on the withinperson level, even though the magnitude of the relationship was smaller than on the betweenperson level. N. P. Podsakoff et al (2007) contributed important findings to the work stressor literature.…”

“…Nevertheless, more day-level research is needed for several reasons. Pindek et al (2019) for example demonstrated in their meta-analysis that the strength of the stressor-strain relationship on the within-person level differed significantly from the between-person level. Therefore, they concluded that it makes a difference if stressful work situations are understood as stable or episodic.…”

“…A within-person approach can be adequate to clarify for example "why people who generally experience positive emotions on the job are sometimes having a bad day" (Ilies et al, 2015, p. 828) or to better understand day-level predictors of changes in well-being (Ilies et al, 2015). Hence, it is a possibility to find more fitting explanations for employees´ day-to-day functioning at work (Xanthopoulou, Bakker, & Ilies, 2012) and to find out optimal time frames for interventions (Pindek et al, 2019). It is important to study LMX on a daily basis as well, as relationships play a central role in the LMX concept (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995) and relationships go through different phases (Kram, 1988) and need constant care (Waldron, 1991).…”

Leader-member exchange as a moderator of the job characteristics – well-being relationship : A daily diary study considering same day and next day effects

Job characteristics play an essential role for the well-being of employees. Especially in situations when job characteristics cannot be changed, leader behavior becomes relevant in order to weaken negative consequences. In a daily diary study over ten consecutive working days with 112 scientific employees, it was assumed that leader-member exchange (LMX) attenuates the negative consequences of low job control and high time pressure on well-being (job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion). Additionally, it was assumed that the relationships of job characteristics, well-being and LMX cannot only be found within one day but also delayed on the next day. Findings from hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) demonstrated that on the day-level higher perceived levels of job control in the morning were associated with higher perceived job satisfaction and lower perceived emotional exhaustion in the afternoon. High perceived day-level time pressure in the morning was negatively related to perceived day-level afternoon job satisfaction and positively to perceived day-level afternoon emotional exhaustion. Within one day, perceived LMX moderated the relationship between perceived job control and perceived job satisfaction. There was no evidence for the hypothesized lagged effects on the next day. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings as well as strengths and limitations of the study will be discussed.

The self‐regulatory consequences of dependence on intelligent machines at work: Evidence from field and experimental studies

Organizations are increasingly augmenting employee jobs with intelligent machines. Although this augmentation has a bright side, in terms of its ability to enhance employee performance, we think there is likely a dark side as well. Draw from self‐regulation theory, we theorize that dependence on intelligent machines is discrepancy‐reducing—enhancing work goal progress, which in turn boosts employees’ task performance. On the other hand, such dependence may be discrepancy‐enlarging—threatening employee self‐esteem, which in turn detracts from employees’ task performance. Drawing further from self‐regulation theory, we submit that employees’ core self‐evaluation (CSE) may influence these effects of dependence on intelligent machines. Across an experience‐sampling field study conducted in India (Study 1) and a simulation‐based experiment conducted in the United States (Study 2), our results generally support a “mixed blessing” perspective of intelligent machines at work. We conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of our work.
