Persistent Work-related Technology Use, Recovery and Well-being Processes
The aim of this work is to provide insight into the process of employee recovery and well-being in regard to work-related ICT use during after-hours. Therefore, we discuss (1) theories that help us to understand the determinants and outcomes of this behavior, (2) our core concepts recovery and well-being, and (3) previous empirical findings on ICT use after hours for work purposes. On the basis of literature review, we propose a new conceptual overall framework of ICT use after hours for work purposes with the focus on employee recovery and well-being processes. Thereby, we posit ICT use after hours for work purposes as potential stressor, resource, or demand (see action theory by Hacker, 1998, 2003; Frese and Zapf 1994), depending on many personal and environmental factors, but primarily on cognitive appraisals (see transactional model of stress by Lazarus and Folkman 1984). This three-way division enables us to propose various linear and non-linear associations to focused outcomes. We conclude with an overall discussion on further research concerning the identified research gaps.
Implications of Remote Work on Employee Well-being and Health
The rapidly growing field of organizational psychology has over the last few years become one of the fastest growing branches of psychology. Particularly, taking care of the health and well-being of employees in the workplace cannot only be considered a moral imperative but has begun globally to be recognised as driving forces of socio-economic growth. Employee health and well-being is crucial to organizations in regards to improved productivity, employee performance, job satisfaction, staff retention, reduced absenteeism, increased job satisfaction and work commitment. Thus, research relating to employee well-being and health has produced some significant results and furthered our understanding of this subsection of the organizational psychology field. The evolvement of the way we work has also gained traction in the organizational psychology field in relation to remote working. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many workforces have adapted more or less permanently to this form of working. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of organizational psychology and the implications of remote working. This editorial initiative of particular relevance led by Professor Rolf van Dick, Specialty Chief Editor of the Employee Well-being and Health section, alongside Dr. Anja Baethge and Dr. Nina Junker, is focused on the implications of remote working on employee well-being and health.
The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work
The issue of mental health at work has become a hot topic in both the popular media and academic writings. Although job stress and mental ill-health are associated with negative outcomes for individuals, teams, and organizations, there has been some suggestion that changing the work environment and creating healthy workplaces can improve worker health. Much of the current works in the general of health is fractured, coming from a variety of disciplines and perspectives without an organizing framework to help guide research and practice in the area. Having this individualized, compartmentalized perspective constrains our ability to fully understand the scope of the issue, the key factors in supporting or detracting from one’s mental health, and interventions focusing on mental health at work. Given the importance of understanding mental health at work and the current lack of coverage on workplace mental health, there is a need for a book to provide a holistic overview of the issue targeting the environmental, individual, and group influences of mental health and well-being, as well as the impact on individuals and workplaces. This handbook provides a conceptual framework for examining these issues. Each chapter offers an in-depth examination of the key facets of mental health at work, focusing both on the seminal and current literature on the topic and practical suggestions for best practices for organizations. With contributions from leading experts, authors address the state-of-the-art research and integrate current events that are shaping the way we work and our wellbeing at work. This edited collection will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and advanced students in the fields of human resource management, organizational psychology, and management.
