ABSTRACT In this paper, we present the Integrated Training Transfer and Effectiveness Model (ITTEM), a dynamic model integrating dominant training transfer and training effectiveness models that can be used to evaluate whether mental health and wellbeing training interventions are transferred to the workplace and result in changes in emotions, cognitions and behaviours post-training. Through the integration of training transfer and training effectiveness literatures, the ITTEM aims to further our understanding of how we may enhance the effectiveness of training through optimising training transfer. We employ realist evaluation as our theoretical framework and argue that developing our understanding of what works for whom in which circumstances will enable us to improve how we design, implement, and evaluate training. We propose that pre- and post-training contextual factors influence the extent to which training mechanisms are triggered and bring about intended outcomes, in terms of emotions, cognitions, behaviours and improved employee mental health and wellbeing. The ITTEM can be used to develop our understanding of how and when training succeeds or fails. The ITTEM provides valuable insights in to how organisations may design future training to maximise the impact of transfer thus achieving the aims of protecting and promoting mental health and wellbeing.

Work & Stress was established in 1987 as one of the first journals specifically dedicated to publishing research in occupational health psychology (OHP), that is, psychological research aiming to improve the quality of work life, and to protect and promote the safety, health and well-being of workers (NIOSH, 2022). Other journals have not held back in publishing research in this area. To date a wealth of findings is available on a wide range of OHP-relevant topics like work stress, organisational and individual-level interventions, safety at work, recovery, work characteristics, and interpersonal relations at work. Moreover, much of this research can be retrieved in a split second using search engines such as PsycInfo and Google Scholar; a situation that could hardly be foreseen back in the days when Work & Stress was established! The downside of the availability of this treasure trove of findings is that these often diverge and sometimes contradict each other. Creating an overview can be confusing and the precise state of affairs in a particular area may be unclear. What do we know about a particular phenomenon? What is still under discussion? What are the research gaps that still need to be addressed? Responding to the growing need for summarising, reviewing, interpreting and integrating the findings that are available, over the years Work & Stress has paid much attention to publishing review studies. For example, over the past three years about one in five papers published in the journal was a review study. Moreover, these reviews figure prominently among the most highly-sought articles in Work & Stress. Clearly, there is a great need for such studies. Unfortunately, whereas to date we receive many submissions that present reviews, not all of these are equally interesting and useful. This raises questions like (a) What makes for a really valuable review study in the area of OHP?, and (b) Which recommendations can be formulated for new review studies to bring the research field of occupational health further?

ABSTRACT This systematic literature review synthesises the existing knowledge about the impact on working caregivers managing dual responsibilities of paid work and informal eldercare, as well as the demands and resources related to juggling these duties. Due to the increasing volume of research in this area, it is important to synthesise current knowledge and identify gaps for future research in the area of Occupational Health Psychology. We identified 45 papers for inclusion in our systematic literature review. Demands and resources were categorised according to the Individual, Group, Leader, and Organisation (IGLO) model. Findings suggested ways that the workplace can provide support to informal caregivers, such as from peer-to-peer, manager-to-subordinate, organisational policy, and cultural aspects. Evidence showed that certain levels of the IGLO model, such as the individual, leader, and organisational-level resources as well as individual demands have received more research attention. Current studies mostly focused on one or two specific levels of the IGLO model rather than taking a holistic approach to examine factors at all levels. Our findings suggested that future research should take into account all levels of the IGLO model to fully capture the dynamics of juggling paid work and eldercare and we proposed a future agenda for research.

ABSTRACT A high workload has long been considered a harmful stressor that adversely affects employees. In the current study, we propose that work underload also has negative implications for employees, and that there is a curvilinear relationship between daily workload and rumination. These negative consequences can carry over to the next day. We collected data from a sample of 137 employees over the course of 9 days to examine how deviations from employees’ average workload impacts their negative rumination at the conclusion of the workday and their negative emotions the following morning. Results of the multilevel analyses indicated that daily workload had a significant curvilinear, J-shaped association with subsequent evening negative rumination that carries over into the following day in the form of higher negative emotions. These effects were stronger for employees with high levels of trait negative affectivity. Our findings suggest that while the effect of upward deviation from the typical workload is worse for employee rumination and subsequent negative emotions than the effect of downward deviation, deviations in either direction have negative effects on employees, especially for individuals with high levels of trait negative affectivity. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of examining daily fluctuation in workload.

ABSTRACT The physical activity-mediated Demand-Control model (Häusser, J. A., & Mojzisch, A. (2017). The physical activity-mediated Demand–Control (pamDC) model: Linking work characteristics, leisure time physical activity, and well-being. Work & Stress, 31(3), 209–232. doi:10.1080/02678373.2017.1303759) posits that leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is an important variable mediating the effects of job characteristics on well-being. Building on this model, we hypothesise that day-specific job demands and job control predict LTPA after work (via self-regulation and self-determination). LTPA after work, in turn, is predicted to be positively related to evening well-being. We tested these hypotheses by conducting a 14-day ambulatory assessment study. A sample of 207 employees wore an accelerometer to monitor physical activity and answered, three times a day, questionnaires addressing job characteristics, self-regulatory capacity, self-determination, and well-being. Results show that day-specific job demands were negatively related to LTPA and different indicators of evening well-being. We also found evidence for the mediation of the relationship between day-specific job demands and evening well-being via LTPA after work. However, contrary to our predictions, job control was not related to LTPA on a daily basis. These findings help to advance theory and, in particular, to understand the importance of LTPA for employee well-being.

ABSTRACT Particularly in knowledge-intensive jobs, employees are increasingly challenged by complex and dynamically changing work tasks. These developments make it difficult for employees to anticipate a day's upcoming work tasks and associated activities including methods, time requirements, and potential problems arising in the work process. We present three arguments why this work unpredictability represents a contemporary occupational stressor causing that affects employees until beyond working hours and is thus associated with lower daily wellbeing in the evening: Work unpredictability can be perceived as a lack of control at work, as a lack of mastery expectancies, and it might add high-effort planning and self-regulation demands to employees’ daily psychological workload. In a diary study with 105 employees, we collected 666 observations at three daily measurement occasions over two weeks. The results supported our hypotheses and demonstrated that work unpredictability relates negatively to evening serenity via employees’ elevated strain levels after work. These relationships were also found when controlling for time pressure as a representative of an established daily work stressor. We conclude that work unpredictability is a so far neglected work stressor that should receive more research attention in the future.

ABSTRACT Many workers are subjected to incidents of rudeness and ignorance at work. Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to such incivility has an immediate impact on people’s well-being and commitment. In this article we contribute to this nascent area of enquiry by investigating the role of discrete emotions in explaining how exposure to incivility translates into detrimental daily consequences, and by examining whether the role of emotions varies depending on whether incivilities occur during face-to-face versus online interactions. In a diary study of 69 workers, we find that face-to-face incivility has a pronounced daily impact on workers’ exhaustion and turnover intention, and that this impact is mediated by increased feelings of sadness and anger, but not fear. In contrast, cyber incivility only affects workers’ emotional exhaustion as a result of increases in sadness. Our findings provide insight into the mechanisms of daily effects of workplace incivility and the divergent daily effects of face-to-face versus cyber incivility.

ABSTRACT Research on workplace incivility principally has focused on targets’ reactions to uncivil behaviours. Moreover, incivility’s consequences have been separately investigated for targets and observers. In the present diary study (N = 164), we examined the short-term effects of experienced incivility on targets’ angry mood, depressive mood, and self-esteem. Also, we investigated the interplay between experienced and observed incivility in predicting targets’ well-being. Specifically, we expected daily observed incivility to buffer the detrimental effects of experienced incivility on depressive mood and self-esteem. Findings revealed that daily experienced incivility positively predicted targets’ angry and depressive mood. Moreover, observed incivility did moderate experienced incivility’s effects at the between-person level. In line with our assumption, the effects of experienced incivility on depressive mood and self-esteem were weaker for targets who observed frequent incivility. In general, our findings confirmed the detrimental effects of experienced incivility on well-being and support the buffering role of observed incivility.

ABSTRACT Most research on workaholism has been conducted at the between-person level and has considered mainly psychological outcomes of the phenomenon (e.g. burnout, job satisfaction). Building on the allostatic load model and on the idea that workaholic cognition and behaviour may show variation at the within-person level, we tested the hypothesis that fluctuations in daily workaholism would be related to parallel fluctuations in daily systolic blood pressure as reported at the end of the working day. Additionally, based on previous research and theoretical contributions in the field, we also tested the hypothesis that the daily workaholism-systolic blood pressure relationship would be particularly accentuated for women, when compared to men. Data have been collected from a sample of 61 participants who were followed for ten consecutive working days, for a total of 544 observations. In line with the hypotheses, workaholism revealed substantial variation at the day level and daily workaholism predicted daily systolic blood pressure. The workaholism-systolic blood pressure relationship was only partially mediated by the objective number of hours worked in the day and, as hypothesised, was more accentuated in women. The study contributes to advancing workaholism research by showing micro-processual (i.e. day-level) aspects of the health impairment path potentially activated by workaholism.

The workaholism-systolic blood pressure relationship was only partially mediated by the objective number of hours worked in the day and, as hypothesised, was more accentuated in women. The study contributes to advancing workaholism research by showing micro-processual (i.e. day-level) aspects of the health impairment path potentially activated by workaholism.","PeriodicalId":48199,"journal":{"name":"Work and Stress","volume":"36 1","pages":"337 - 354"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
