ABSTRACTA lack of recovery like psychologically detaching from work can be detrimental to health. High cognitive demands may jeopardise detachment from work. Longitudinal studies concerning the long-term effects of cognitive demands on health and work ability via psychological detachment are understudied. Research has shown that social support may buffer the relationship between job demands and psychological detachment. However, the role of supervisor support was not examined specifically. We hypothesise psychological detachment to mediate the relationship between cognitive demands, general health, and work ability. Supportive or inconsiderate behaviours of a supervisor can further moderate the relationship between cognitive demands and psychological detachment. Statistical analyses were carried out with three-wave panel data from the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health with lags of two years (2015–2019) from 3,867 employees who took part in the survey. The results conveyed that mediation by psychological detachment was significant, while supervisor (non)support moderated the relationship between cognitive demands and psychological detachment only cross-sectionally. This study emphasises the role of supervisor in the stressor-detachment model and the positive effect of recovery experience on health. Therefore, in practice, the role of supervisor behaviour for employees’ psychological detachment should be addressed in management training courses.KEYWORDS: Job demandspsychological detachmentsupervisorwork abilityhealth Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

This study disentangles positive and negative reactions to home-to-work transitions (i.e. transitions from the home role to the work role during non-work hours; HWTs) and examines their consequences for employees’ work engagement and psychological strain. Based on boundary theory and appraisal theories, we expected that positively appraised HWTs would relate to more engagement and less strain whereas negatively appraised HWTs would contribute to less engagement and more strain. We tested our hypotheses using two daily diary datasets from different Belgian companies, one collected before the COVID-19 pandemic during 13 workdays among 81 employees (678 observations; Study 1) and one collected during the pandemic during 9 workdays among 82 employees (516 observations; Study 2). Hypotheses were tested both on the within – and the between-person level using multilevel modelling to account for daily fluctuations in the appraisals of HWTs and between-person differences. As expected, positive appraisals were related to more engagement and less strain at the between-person level in both studies. We did not find this impact on the within-person level, nor did we find any within – or between-effects of negative appraisals. Our study highlights the relevance of positive appraisals for employees’ between-level engagement and strain beyond the impact of HWTs themselves.

ABSTRACT Previous research on compassion work has focused on the emotion regulation of human services workers. However, little attention has been paid to the job characteristics of this work. In this paper, we conceptualise a model of compassion work that differentiates the task characteristics (1) exposure and (2) empathy, and the work style requirements (3) compassion and (4) distancing. We tested an operationalisation of our compassion work model for its factor structure and validity in two studies (total N = 985). Our findings confirmed the proposed four-factor structure. Moreover, as expected, exposure was positively related to engagement and burnout, suggesting exposure is a challenge stressor in compassion work; empathy was positively related to burnout, suggesting empathy is a hindrance stressor in compassion work; compassion was positively related to work engagement and work meaningfulness, suggesting it supports self-enhancement in compassion work; and finally distancing was negatively related to burnout, suggesting it supports health and well-being in compassion work. Overall, these findings suggest our model is a promising vantage point for future research, job design, and health prevention in compassion work.
