Abstract

This paper examines whether employees' strategies to recognize (through self-recognition) and regulate (through job crafting, work-family management, and recovery) their internal and external demands and resources help them retain their well-being and performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also examines whether an online self-training intervention can stimulate the use of these strategies. A randomized control trial with a waitlist control group and pre-post measure (N intervention group = 62, N control group = 77) was executed, consisting of four modules with videos, exercises, and three assignments. Participants of the intervention group reported improved self-recognition (noticing, self-focused emotional intelligence), job crafting (seeking resources and challenges), recovery (psychological detachment and relaxation), and reduced work-family conflict. Moreover, the intervention group reported reduced fatigue and increased happiness with life and task performance after the intervention. Improvements in self-focused emotional intelligence, relaxation, and reduced work-family conflict could explain the progress of these distal outcomes. This study reveals the strategies that can help employees to maintain high levels of well-being and performance while working from home and how to improve them using an evidence-based self-training intervention.

远程工作的有效员工策略:在线自我培训干预
本文考察了员工识别(通过自我识别)和调节(通过工作制定、工作家庭管理和恢复)内部和外部需求和资源的策略是否有助于他们在COVID-19大流行期间保持幸福感和绩效。它还研究了在线自我训练干预是否可以刺激这些策略的使用。随机对照试验采用候补组和前后测量组(干预组N = 62,对照组N = 77),包括四个模块,包括视频、练习和三个作业。干预组的参与者报告说,自我认知(注意,自我关注的情商),工作制定(寻求资源和挑战),恢复(心理超然和放松),以及减少了工作与家庭的冲突。此外,干预组报告说,在干预后,疲劳减少了,生活和任务表现的幸福感增加了。自我关注的情商、放松和工作家庭冲突的减少可以解释这些远端结果的进展。本研究揭示了可以帮助员工在家工作时保持高水平幸福感和绩效的策略,以及如何使用基于证据的自我培训干预来改善这些策略。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
