Abstract

Communication technology enables employees to be constantly connected at the cost of potentially blurring the boundaries between work and private life, which can be detrimental to their well-being. The present study utilised a quantitative diary approach (N = 269 employees, N = 1256 data points) to provide further evidence on the association between telepressure and ruminative thoughts within boundary-crossing contexts (i.e., including work-related behaviour and cognitions during leisure time as well as private-related behaviour and cognitions at work). On a day-to-day level, we examined if context-incongruent telepressure had a positive effect on context-incongruent affective rumination through context-incongruent message-based communication behaviour. Multilevel analyses supported our hypothesised mediation models. Altogether, findings reveal that quickly replying towards messages or its related cognition (i.e., telepressure) may result in a resource-draining experience in terms of affective rumination within both boundary-crossing contexts. Theoretical and practical implications as well as future research avenues are discussed.

当思想没有关闭开关:跨界语境中遥压和基于消息的沟通行为的代价。
通信技术使员工能够随时保持联系,但代价是工作和私人生活之间的界限可能会变得模糊,这可能对他们的健康有害。本研究采用定量日记方法(N = 269名员工,N = 1256个数据点),进一步证明远程压力与跨界环境(即,包括闲暇时间与工作相关的行为和认知,以及工作中与私人相关的行为和认知)中反刍思维之间的关系。在日常水平上,我们研究了情境不一致的远程压力是否通过情境不一致的基于信息的沟通行为对情境不一致的情感反刍产生积极影响。多水平分析支持我们假设的中介模型。总之,研究结果表明,快速回复信息或其相关认知(即远程压力)可能导致在两种跨界环境中情感反刍方面的资源消耗体验。讨论了理论和实践意义以及未来的研究方向。
