Antecedents and implications of changes in social identification at work amongst teleworkers
Social identification evolves differently across teleworker subgroups. • One-third of teleworkers belonged to risk groups with declining identification. • Low initial identification may further decrease, indicating polarization. • Low tenure, interaction, fairness, and support increase risk group membership. • Risk group membership predicts lower well-being and higher turnover intentions
Work Engagement
Work engagement refers to an enduring, positive, affective-motivational state of employee well-being. Specifically, work engagement is a state of mind that is characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption. In this review, after a brief introduction to other conceptualizations of engagement at work, we discuss the temporal and social aspects of work engagement and the main theoretical perspectives from which it is investigated. We also summar…
The burnout-depression conundrum
This research seeks to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the distinctive nature of burnout and depression. In a first study, we relied on employee samples from four European countries (N = 5199; 51.27% women; Mage = 43.14). In a second study, we relied on a large sample of patients (N = 5791; 53.70% women; Mage = 39.54) who received a diagnosis of burnout, depressive episode, job strain, or adaptation disorder. Across all samples and sub…
Job boredom as an antecedent of four states of mental health
Our two-wave study suggests that job boredom, a motivational state of ill-being in the work domain, spills over into general mental health by decreasing life satisfaction and positive functioning and increasing anxiety and depression symptoms. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the potential detrimental effects of job boredom and its nomological network. From a practical perspective, workplaces are adviced to improve working conditio…
Social courage promotes organizational identification via crafting social resources at work
What may individuals themselves do to enhance their identification with their employer organization? Does being socially courageous promote such formation of identity? If so, does this process occur because those who are socially courageous also proactively foster positive relationships and collaboration amongst co-workers and thus enhance social resources at work? Answering these questions is essential given that positive relationships and ident…
Happy
The United Nations’ World Happiness Report has ranked Finland as the happiest country for three consecutive years. In this research, we employed thematic analysis to analyze Instagram posts (N = 650) tagged with the hashtag “#happy” produced by Finnish-speaking users (#onnellinen in Finnish) during 2018, the first year that Finland gained the title of happiest country. We found that the representations of happiness constructed on Instagram includ…
Measurement Invariance of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) Across Seven Cross-National Representative Samples
The aim of this study was to investigate the measurement invariance of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) across seven cross-national representative samples. In this study, burnout was modeled as a second-order factor in line with the conceptual definition as a syndrome. The combined sample consisted of 10,138 participants from countries in Europe and Japan. The data were treated as ordered categorical in nature and a series of models were tested …
Testing Demands and Resources as Determinants of Vitality among Different Employment Contract Groups. A Study in 30 European Countries
The aim of this study was to investigate the relative importance of four job demands and five job resources for employee vitality, i.e., work engagement and exhaustion, in three different employment groups: permanent, temporary and temporary agency workers. We employed data from the sixth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) collected in 2015 comprising 28,042 employees from 30 European countries. We used linear regression analyses and domin…
Do burnout and work engagement predict depressive symptoms and life satisfaction? A three-wave seven-year prospective study
The Job Demands-Resources model
By using a full panel design in a representative sample of Finnish dentists (N=2555), the present study aimed to test longitudinally the motivational and health impairment processes as proposed in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model. The second aim was to investigate whether home resources and home demands have an additional influence on both processes over time. The hypotheses were tested with cross-lagged analyses based on two waves over a t…
Positive gain spirals at work
Job resources boost work engagement, particularly when job demands are high.
This study of 805 Finnish teachers working in elementary, secondary, and vocational schools tested 2\ninteraction hypotheses. On the basis of the job demands–resources model, the authors predicted that job\nresources act as buffers and diminish the negative relationship between pupil misbehavior and work\nengagement. In addition, using conservation of resources theory, the authors hypothesized that job\nresources particularly influence work engag…
Change and stability of sense of coherence in adulthood
How dentists cope with their job demands and stay engaged
This study focuses on job demands, job resources, and work engagement among 1,919 Finnish dentists employed in the public sector. Based on the Job Demands – Resources model, it was first predicted that the inverse relationship between job demands (e.g. workload, physical environment) and work engagement would be weaker when dentists had many resources (e.g. variability in the required professional skills, peer contacts). Second, using the Conserv…
