“…Our main analyses were based on complete data available from 123 respondents (the respondent group). These response rates are comparable to those in similar mail surveys of employee samples (e.g., Houkes, Janssen, de Jonge, & Bakker, 2003;Parkes & von Rabenau, 1993) and in a 1 year longitudinal study of employees at residential care institutions for the elderly in the Netherlands (Peeters, de Jonge, Janssen, & van der Linden, 2004). It is noteworthy that much of the sample loss in the present study (and in other similar studies, see Tekleab, Takeuchi, & Taylor, 2005) was caused by employees who were no longer working at the institutions 2 years after the initial assessment.…”

Goals and Depressive Symptoms: Cross-lagged Effects of Cognitive versus Emotional Goal Appraisals

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Relationships between work goal appraisals and depressive symptoms were investigated in a 2-wave study of health care employees spanning a 2-year period. Crosslagged models were tested and compared in structural equation modeling analyses. The results suggest that the direction of longitudinal relationships between work goal appraisals and depressive symptoms may depend on the nature of the appraisals. In the best-fitting model, goal self-efficacy cognitions predicted depressive symptoms 2 years later. This finding supports cognitive/self-regulatory theories positing that dysfunctional cognitions form a vulnerability factor in the etiology of depressive symptoms. On the other hand, we found no evidence that depressive symptoms predicted goal cognitions. Instead, depressive symptoms were associated with goal-related emotions two years later, suggesting that depressive symptoms may lead over time to greater negative emotional arousal. Implications for depression theory and goal research are discussed.

“…The effort-recovery (E-R) model (Meijman & Mulder, 1998) has been used in recent studies to explain the mediating role of WIF in the relationship between work characteristics (e.g., work hours and job demands) and well-being (e.g., Geurts, Kompier, Roxburgh, & Houtman, 2003;Janssen, Peeters, de Jonge, Houkes, & Tummers, 2004;Peeters, de Jonge, Janssen, & van der Linden, 2004). The E-R model facilitates understanding of the impact of work stressors on well-being by considering the psychobiological processes that underlie this relationship .…”

Work hours and well-being: The roles of work-time control and work–family interference

2007

This study focused on mediating and moderating processes underlying the relationship between work hours and well-being. Questionnaire data from 292 female employees in two UK public sector organizations were analysed. Drawing on effort-recovery theory and published empirical findings, it was hypothesized that workÁfamily interference (WIF) would mediate the relationship between work hours and measures of well-being (psychological distress and family satisfaction), and that work-time control would moderate the association between work hours and WIF. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that, after controlling for demographic variables, neuroticism, and job demands, WIF mediated the effect of work hours on family satisfaction, although no evidence of mediation was found for the psychological distress outcome measure. Work-time control moderated the relationship between work hours and WIF; higher control buffered the effect of longer hours on WIF. These findings add to the literature on the role of WIF in the effort-recovery process by showing that longer work hours are not necessarily associated with higher workÁfamily interference, and hence with poor recovery and impaired well-being. Instead, having a degree of control over work hours moderates the first link in this process. Thus, the provision by employers of some flexibility and control over work hours may help to reduce the potential negative impact of long work hours on employees.

“…The reverse causation approach has received very little attention until now (Peeters, de Jonge, Janssen, & Van der Linden, 2004), as inter-role interaction is generally considered as an outcome variable rather than predictor (Innstrand, Langballe, Espnes, Falkum, & Aasland, 2008). A recent meta-analysis showed that work-family conflict predicted work-related strain and that strain predicted work-family conflict over time, although both types of lagged effects were rather small (Nohe, Meier, Sonntag, & Michel, 2015).…”

Although work and family are undoubtedly important life domains, individuals are also active in other life roles which are also important to them (like pursuing personal interests). Building on identity theory and the resource perspective on work–home interface, we examined whether there is an indirect effect of work–self conflict/facilitation on exhaustion and task performance over time through personal resources (i.e., self-efficacy and optimism). The sample was composed of 368 Dutch police officers. Results of the 3-wave longitudinal study confirmed that work–self conflict was related to lower levels of self-efficacy, whereas work–self facilitation was related to improved optimism over time. In turn, self-efficacy was related to higher task performance, whereas optimism was related to diminished levels of exhaustion over time. Further analysis supported the negative, indirect effect of work–self facilitation on exhaustion through optimism over time, and only a few reversed causal effects emerged. The study contributes to the literature on interrole management by showing the role of personal resources in the process of conflict or facilitation over time.
