This paper tests the structure and predictors of two psychological experiences technostress associated with use information communication technologies (ICT), i.e., technostrain (users report feelings anxiety, fatigue, scepticism inefficacy beliefs related to technologies) technoaddiction feel bad due an excessive compulsive these technologies). The study included a sample 1072 ICT users ( N = 675 nonintensive 397 intensive users). Results from multigroup confirmatory factor analyses among...

According to the job demands–resources (JD–R) model, demands and resources evoke two relatively independent processes: health impairment employee motivation. The robustness of JD–R model was tested in different occupational samples, first 654 Spanish employees second 477 Dutch employees. Structural equation modeling analyses provided partial evidence for processes. Multigroup showed that structural paths were invariant across countries, although strength relationships differed. We conclude...

Taking Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory as our starting point, we tested how efficacy beliefs (self-efficacy and perceived collective efficacy) reciprocally influence activity engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) indirectly through their impact on positive affect (enthusiasm, satisfaction, comfort) over time. We conducted two longitudinal studies using independent samples. Study 1 is a two-wave field study that examines gain cycles regarding the dynamic relationships among...

This study investigates the effects of e-groups on well-being and performance, using a collective approach an objective performance indicator. Furthermore, it includes efficacy as moderator negative (anxiety) well positive (engagement) well-being. A lab experiment with interval 3 weeks was performed among 140 students who were randomly distributed across 18 groups chat-internet program 10 working face to face. Half under time pressure. Results confirm moderating role perceived task...

Two studies were conducted to validate the so-called HEalthy and Resilient Organization (HERO) Model. Results from Study 1 provided validity psychometric support for a new measure designed assess HEROs composed by semistructured interviews with CEOs of 14 companies as well questionnaires their stakeholders (710 employees, 84 work-units, immediate supervisors, 860 customers). In 2, SEM (using data aggregated at work-unit level, which consisted 303 teams supervisors 43 companies) showed that...

. The objective of the current study is to analyze role professional self-efficacy as a predictor psychosocial well-being (i.e., burnout and engagement) following Social Cognitive Theory Albert Bandura (1997). Structural Equation Modeling was performed in sample secondary school teachers (n = 460) users Information Communication Technology 596). Results show empirical support for predicting that plays perception challenge mental overload) hindrance demands conflict, lack control, social...

Taking the Resources-Experiences-Demands Model (RED Model) by Salanova and colleagues as our starting point, we tested how work self-efficacy relates positively to negative (i.e., overload work-family conflict) positive outcomes job satisfaction organizational commitment), through mediating role of workaholism ( health impairment process) engagement motivational process). In a sample 386 administrative staff from Spanish University (65% women), Structural Equation Modeling provided full...

Abstract The aim of this study was to establish a typology employee well‐being, together with its psychosocial antecedents and consequences. Results obtained sample 786 full‐time employees from different occupational sectors show four types well‐being: 9‐to‐5 or relaxed, work engaged enthusiastic, workaholic tense, burned‐out fatigued, each having relationships job personal characteristics. This provides evidence parsimonious, theory‐based classification well‐being contributes the existing...

This study tests the relationships between workaholism (i.e. working excessively and compulsively), sleep problems cardiovascular risk in 537 employees from five Spanish hospitals. Four types of worker workaholics, positive workers, compulsive workers hard workers) were distinguished, their health indicators compared. The results showed that workaholics experienced significantly more morning tiredness, sleeping while driving fewer hours both on weekdays at weekends, with poorer quality), had...

The present longitudinal study (two waves), conducted on a population of 274 secondary-school teachers, expands previous research burnout and work engagement. Accordingly, the effect organizational factors (obstacles, facilitators) as well personal resources (self-efficacy) engagement is tested longitudinally following Social Cognitive Theory. More specifically, we test loss gain cycles, reciprocal relationships concerning burnout, engagement, self-efficacy over time. Four questions are...

This brief report proposes a model in which academic psychological capital (PsyCap) mediates between the satisfaction of student's basic needs and their performance, as assessed by students' GPA. Participants were 407 adolescents, aged 12-18, recruited from three Chilean schools. Through structural equation modeling, direct indirect effects calculated. Results show that PsyCap (assessed at time 2) fully relationship 1) performance 3). means students whose are satisfied school experience more...

This article investigated whether cynicism and depersonalization are two different dimensions of burnout or they may be collapsed into one construct mental distance. Using confirmatory factor analyses in samples teachers ( n = 483) blue-collar workers 474), a superior fit was found for the four-factor model that contained cynicism, depersonalization, exhaustion, professional efficacy as burnout. In particular, emerged unique dimensions. Moreover, it appeared from multigroup this...

We describe how (positive) organizations can be enhanced from the framework of Positive Psychology, being healthy a psychological point view, as well resilient in times crisis and turmoil.Thus, Healthy & Resilient Organizations (HEROs) make systematic, planned, proactive efforts to improve employees' organizational processes outcomes (Salanova, Llorens, Cifre, Martínez, 2012).These involve fostering resources practices aimed at improving work environment, especially during changing...

This study tests organizational trust as the psychosocial mechanism that explains how healthy practices and team resources predict multilevel performance in organizations teams, respectively. In our methodology, we collect data a sample of 890 employees from 177 teams their immediate supervisors 31 Spanish companies. Our results analysis show two independent processes predicting (return on assets, ROA) ratings by supervisors, operating at levels, We have found evidence for theoretical...
