Abstract This study aims to examine whether the relationship between overtime and well-being is influenced by voluntary vs. involuntary (i.e., compulsory) nature of work presence or absence rewards for overtime. We also explored prevalence these types how they were related personal characteristics. A survey was conducted among a representative sample Dutch full-time employees (N=1612). AN(C)OVA used compare rewarded unrewarded, workers on characteristics, fatigue, satisfaction. Most (62%)....

Summary This prospective four‐wave study examined (i) the causal direction of longitudinal relations among job demands, control, sleep quality and fatigue; (ii) effects stability change in demand–control history on development fatigue. Based results a complete panel 1163 Dutch employees, we found significant demands control fatigue across 1‐year time lag, supporting strain hypothesis (Demand–Control model; Karasek Theorell, Basic Books, New York, 1990). No reversed or reciprocal patterns...

New ways of working (NWW) is a type work organization that characterized by temporal and spatial flexibility, often combined with extensive use information communication technologies (ICT) performance-based management. In three-wave intervention study, we examined the effects NWW on both (changes in control over time place work; hours location; other key job characteristics), employees' outcomes (work–nonwork balance; health well-being; job-related outcomes). We applied quasi-experimental...

Abstract Knowledge of the cycle work and recovery is crucial for protecting employee health well-being preserving working capabilities. However, daily process effort not well understood. This study investigated how time spent on activities in off-job domains, pleasure experienced while engaging these activities, affect process. We expected higher levels at during to be negatively related recovery, positively recovery. also hypothesized that would act as a buffer against negative effects...

Longitudinal research on the relationship between job demands and performance its underlying mechanisms is scarce. The aims of this longitudinal three‐wave study among 920 Finnish employees were to ascertain whether (1) challenge (i.e., workload, cognitive demands) self‐reported are positively related over time, (2) insecurity a hindrance demand) negatively (3) restorative experiences during off‐job time sleep quality in these relations, (4) affective rumination mediates proposed relations...

Overtime and Need for Recovery in Relation to Job Demands Control: Monique van der Hulst, et al. Department of Work Organizational Psychology, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands —This study addressed the prevalence working overtime relation psychosocial work characteristics need recovery. More precisely, aim this was find out (1) whether a relationship exists between (job demands job control), (2a) recovery, finally (2b) such depends on type (a specific combination control). sample...

The present study addressed the associations among various indicators of effort expenditure at work and recovery opportunities (perceived job demands control, hours worked overtime, according to one's contract), – home interference, well-being (exhaustion enjoyment) in a cross-sectional 117 male 82 female managers. Drawing on effort-recovery theory, we expected that high demands, low number full-time appointment would be associated with levels enjoyment, exhaustion. Stepwise regression...

It has often been suggested that high levels of overtime lead to adverse health outcomes. One mechanism may account for this association is working leads elevated stress, which could affect worker's behavioral decisions or habits (such as smoking and lack physical activity). In turn, health.The present study examined reasoning in a prospective longitudinal design. Data from the 2-year Study on Health at Work (N = 649) were used test our hypotheses.Structural equation analysis was examine...

Work Stressors, Perseverative Cognition and Objective Sleep Quality: A Longitudinal Study among Dutch Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) Pilots: Mirjam RADSTAAK, et al . Behavioural Science Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands— Objectives This longitudinal study examined the associations between work stressors, perseverative cognition subjective objective sleep quality. We hypothesized stressors to be associated with (i) poor nocturnal quality (ii) higher levels...

Objectives . This study examined the relationship between on-call duty exposure (active and total hours a month, number of calls per duty) employees’ experiences being (stress due to unpredictability, ability relax during inactive periods, restrictions duties, work demands, satisfaction with compensation for duties) on one hand fatigue, strain-based time-based work-home interference (WHI), perceived performance difficulties (PPD) other hand. Methods Cross-sectional survey data were collected...

This study aims to examine (a) the time course of stress, fatigue, and sleep quality among PhD students awaiting a stressful event (b) whether daily anticipation this influences day-level quality. Forty-four completed evening morning questionnaires on eight days from 1 month before their dissertation defense until one thereafter. Results showed increased stress leading up defense, while fatigue remained unchanged. Comparing night with after, rapidly decreased, whereas increased. Following...

Objective Worktime control (WTC) has been suggested as a tool to reduce employees’ work-home interference and fatigue improve job motivation. The purpose of this study was twofold: (i) examine the prevalence need for, access to, use WTC, well incongruence between for WTC (ie, mismatch); (ii) associations mismatch with work–home (WHI), Methods Questionnaire data were collected among large (N=2420) quasi-representative sample Dutch employees. need, access, use, assessed by means descriptive...

Abstract Background Empirical support for the notion that music listening is beneficial stress recovery inconclusive, potentially due to methodological diversity with which effects of on have been investigated. Little presently known about activities are chosen by individuals purpose recovery, and whether audio feature commonalities exist between different songs selected recovery. The current pre-registered study investigated can be extracted from self-selected Furthermore, present...

This study aimed at disentangling the effects of overtime hours from those long workhours. For part-time workers, work is not intertwined with workhours as it for full-time workers. Therefore, and employees were compared regard to association between well-being (fatigue motivation). Such comparisons may also shed more light on psychological meaning workers.A survey was conducted among a representative sample Dutch (N=2419). An analysis covariance used investigate whether relationship differs...
