Abstract

ABSTRACT Employees who remain available for work outside regular work hours often experience strain and work–home conflicts. This study clusters employees in distinct availability types based on different aspects of unregulated extended work ability, which are contacting frequency, availability expectations and perceived legitimacy of availability. Moreover, we examined covariates of class membership and relationships with employees’ well-being. We used data from 17,410 employees who took part in a representative survey of the German working population. Latent class analysis with double cross-validation revealed three availability types. Satisfaction with work–life balance was higher and internal work–home interference was lower in the “rarely available”-class than in the “legitimate available”-class and the “illegitimate available”-class. Members of the “illegitimate available”-class reported worse subjective health, more psychovegetative health complaints, and higher levels of exhaustion than members of the “legitimate available”-class and the “rarely available”-class. Several socio-demographic variables, job characteristics, and factors associated with boundary management predicted class membership. Overall, the study highlights the risks for employees’ well-being associated with unregulated extended work availability – particularly when it is perceived as illegitimate – and points towards implications on the individual, organisational, and political level that may help reduce and better manage extended work ability.

德国的工作可用性类型和幸福感——全国代表性样本中的潜在阶级分析
摘要:那些在正常工作时间之外仍然可以工作的员工经常会经历压力和工作与家庭的冲突。本研究基于不受监管的扩展工作能力的不同方面,将员工分为不同的可用性类型,即接触频率、可用性预期和可用性的感知合法性。此外,我们还检验了阶级成员关系与员工幸福感的协变量。我们使用了17410名员工的数据,他们参加了一项针对德国劳动人口的代表性调查。采用双重交叉验证的潜在类分析揭示了三种可用性类型。与“合法可用”阶级和“非法可用”阶级相比,“很少可用”阶级对工作-生活平衡的满意度更高,内部工作-家庭干扰更低。与“合法可用”类别和“很少可用”类别的成员相比,“非法可用”类别成员的主观健康状况更差,心理植物人健康投诉更多,疲惫程度更高。几个社会人口统计学变量、工作特征和与边界管理相关的因素预测了阶级成员。总的来说,该研究强调了与不受监管的延长工作时间相关的员工幸福感风险,特别是当它被认为是非法的时,并指出了对个人、组织和政治层面的影响,这可能有助于减少和更好地管理延长工作能力。

期刊介绍: Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
