The International Work Addiction Scale (Iwas): A screening tool for clinical and organizational applications validated in 85 cultures from six continents
Trusting robots: A relational trust definition based on human intentionality
As robots are increasingly found in various aspects of human life, understanding how humans relate to and interact with robots is becoming more relevant. One important factor affecting the quality of human-robot interactions is trust, and in recent years there has been an increase in scientific interest in the nature of trust between humans and robots. However, it can be observed that a clear distinction between trust and its related constructs i…
Customization options in consumer health information materials on type-2 diabetes mellitus—an analysis of modifiable features in different types of media
Introduction: The understanding of health-related information is essential for making informed decisions. However, providing health information in an understandable format for everyone is challenging due to differences in consumers' health status, disease knowledge, skills, and preferences. Tailoring health information to individual needs can improve comprehension and increase health literacy. Objective: The aim of our research was to analyze the…
Predictors of adherence in Austrian employees during the Covid-19 pandemic: Results of an online survey
Background Since the beginning of the pandemic in December 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a significant challenge to health care systems throughout the world. The introduction of measures to reduce the incidence of infection had a significant impact on the workplace. Overall, companies played a key and adaptive role in coping with the pandemic. Methods Cross-sectional data from an online-survey of 1,183 employees conducted dur…
When telework is a burden rather than a perk: The roles of knowledge sharing and supervisor social support in mitigating adverse effects of telework during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Due to increased telework as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the literature has called for exploring the impacts of imposed telework on work‐ and well‐being‐related outcomes. To answer this call, we investigated the effects of the amount of telework on perceived productivity, work engagement, and social isolation during the beginning of the pandemic. Moreover, leaning on self‐determination theory, we examined the role of knowledge sharing as a…
The Critical Robot: Impact of Performance Feedback on Intrinsic Motivation, Self-Esteem and Psychophysiology in Human–Robot Interaction
Social, anthropomorphic robots are increasingly used in professional work environments to collaborate with humans. However, little is known about how these robots affect human workers in performance-critical aspects, such as feedback. The present study investigates differences between the effects of a robot and a human feedback giver on self-esteem, intrinsic motivation, and psychophysiological reactions. Using a mixed model design for subjective…
Development and validation of the Work–Home Integration Questionnaire (WHIQ)
The boundaries between work and private life are gradually blurring. More and more employees are involved in work during leisure time through cognitions, emotions or behaviours, in both negative and positive ways. This so‐called work‐home integration (WHI) can, on the one hand, hampers the necessary recovery from work and result in strain but, on the other hand, also restores resources and result in beneficial outcomes. In order to enhance our un…
A two‐wave study on the effects of cognitive demands of flexible work on cognitive flexibility, work engagement and fatigue
Cognitive demands of flexible work are the specific cognitive demands of planning of working times, planning of working places, structuring of work tasks and coordinating with others that arise from flexible work organisation. Although these demands have become increasingly widespread, their consequences are not well understood. We propose that cognitive demands of flexible work are challenge stressors that can benefit employees, by adding to the…
Work Intensification and Its Effects on Mental Health: The Role of Workplace Curiosity
Work intensification is a psychosocial risk that has been increasing in recent decades and may have been accentuated after the COVID-19 pandemic. Its effects on health are negative, but they can be moderated by contextual and personal factors. The aim of this study was twofold: to analyze the effect of work intensification on workers' stress, anxiety, and depression and to explore the role of workplace curiosity in these relationships. The study …
Conflict at Work Impairs Physiological Recovery during Sleep: A Daily Diary Study
Sleep plays an essential role in maintaining employees' health and well-being. However, stressors, such as conflict at work, may interfere with employees' sleep. Drawing on previous literature on the relationship between conflict at work and sleep outcomes, we proposed a negative relationship between daily conflict at work and physiological changes during early sleep, particularly nocturnal heart rate variability (HRV). Furthermore, building on t…

Job Demands in a Changing World of Work: Impact on Workers' Health and Performance and Implications for Research and Practice
Job Demands in a Changing World of Work
Thriving on challenge stressors? Exploring time pressure and learning demands as antecedents of thriving at work
In the conceptualization of thriving at work, it is emphasized that employees' learning and vitality are two equally important components of thriving and that thriving is facilitated by contextual features and available resources. In this study, we examined the effects of two challenge stressors (time pressure and learning demands) on thriving at work. Based on the literature on challenge and hindrance stressors, we proposed that challenge stress…
Acceleration in working life: An empirical test of a sociological framework
Although perceptions of 'acceleration' are common in everyday life, empirical studies are rare. We investigated Rosa's theoretical framework of social acceleration in working life. Based on the framework and the concept of job demands in work and organizational psychology we developed a questionnaire that distinguishes between demands for technological acceleration, demands for the acceleration of social change, and demands for the acceleration o…
