    Study Notes

    Recovery from Work

    • Recovery: Unwinding and restoration processes that occur when strain from stressors decreases to pre-stressor levels
    • Strain symptoms: job-related demands decrease after job demands have ended, focused on specific activities for recovery
    • Effort-recovery model: High work demands cause employee load reactions (physiological and psychological strain), and no job demands allow for recovery
    • COR framework: High work demands cause employees to use up their energetic and affective resources, which requires active restoration.
    • Recovery activities: Low-duty activities that are associated with well-being and feelings of recovery
    • Psychological experiences: Psychological states experienced during non-work time, reflecting psychological detachment from one's work, relaxation, mastery, control, and experiences of meaning (from leisure activities etc.)
    • Taxonomy of recovery: Describes various psychological detachment elements from work-related thoughts and feelings during non-work time, through relaxation, mastery and control.
    • Recovery outcomes: Well-being, and affective states, improved.

    Active Leisure Activities

    • Active leisure activities are more helpful than passive ones
    • Particularly helpful are physical activities which improve detachment from work, sleep quality, leading to improved psychological well being
    • Psychological detachment, relation and control predicted better sleep quality

    Motivational Constructs

    • People feel more rested and recovered in the morning, which improves work engagement
    • Availability of energy after recovery leads to better engagement with work tasks
    • Recovery improves task performance, proactivity and organizational citizenship behavior at work the next day

    Long-Term Recovery Outcomes

    • Findings on recovery during evening and weekends are inconsistent
    • Recovery activities and experiences may not be equally important for all
    • The issue of study itself is implicated.

    Antecedents of Effective Recovery

    • Well-being during/end of workday is linked to choice of recovery activity and intensity
    • Lack of well-being requires active recovery
    • Job stressors (e.g., overload, emotional pressure) reduce engagement in recovery activities
    • Job resources (e.g., mastery experiences, control) positively impact recovery activities
    • Cognitive or physical effort doesn't have the same effect as job stressors
    • There's a positive correlation between recovery and perceived success/satisfaction within a workday.

    Interventions

    • Mindfulness training
    • Boundary management
    • Techniques to segment work from personal life

    Article 2: Leaving Work at Work

    • Two types of microbreaks/recovery activities, low-duty and high-duty
    • Both low-duty and high-duty activities relate to recovery, but not necessarily in consistent ways, depending on the situation
    • Research questions seek to understand recovery activities and experiences as activities, experiences, and states; and if this is temporally consistent

    Subtypes of Demands influencing recovery

    • Overload, physical, emotional & cognitive demands have varied relationships with recovery

    Resource Types

    • Contextual (work/personal related) and personal resources and their relation to recovery activities
    • Recovery leads to improved well being/satisfaction
    • Psychosomatic effects like stress, anxiety manifest as physical effects

    Findings on Recovery State

    • A state of recovery is positively related to recovery experiences, low-duty activities, and negatively related to high-duty activities
    • Physical demands, on the other hand, are not strongly correlated to lower recovery
