Abstract

Cohabiting dual-earner couples are increasingly common. However, previous recovery research mainly focused on employees independently of others, thereby overlooking an essential part of their life. Therefore, we take a closer look at dual-earner couples' recovery processes and link this research to a circadian perspective. We assumed that unfinished tasks impede engagement in time with the partner (absorption in joint activities, directing attention toward the partner) as well as recovery experiences (detachment, relaxation), whereas engagement in time with the partner should boost recovery experiences. Integrating a circadian perspective, we proposed that employees from couples with matching circadian preferences (chronotype) benefit more from engagement in time with their partner (i.e., stronger relationships with recovery experiences). Additionally, we explored whether a match between partners' chronotypes buffers the negative relationship between unfinished tasks and engagement in joint time. We conducted a daily diary study with 143 employees from 79 dual-earner couples, providing data on 1,052 days. A three-level path model showed that unfinished tasks were negatively related to absorption in joint activities and detachment, whereas absorption positively predicted recovery experiences. Furthermore, the couples' chronotype match mattered in the interplay with engagement in joint time: for couples with higher (vs. lower) chronotype match, experiencing detachment depended on absorption while for couples with lower (vs. higher) chronotype match, attention was even harmful for experiencing relaxation. Thus, it is crucial to consider employees' partners when investigating their recovery processes because employees cannot act independently if they also need to take their partner's circadian rhythms into account.

这是一个匹配:匹配的时间类型与双职工夫妇每天从工作中恢复的相关性。
双职工同居越来越普遍。然而,以前的恢复研究主要集中在员工独立于他人,从而忽视了他们生活的一个重要部分。因此,我们仔细研究了双职工夫妇的恢复过程,并将这项研究与昼夜节律的观点联系起来。我们假设未完成的任务阻碍了与伴侣的及时接触(专注于共同活动,将注意力引向伴侣)以及恢复体验(超然,放松),而与伴侣的及时接触应该促进恢复体验。结合昼夜节律的观点,我们提出具有匹配昼夜节律偏好(时间类型)的夫妇的员工从与伴侣的及时接触中获益更多(即,与恢复经历的关系更强)。此外,我们还探讨了伴侣时间类型的匹配是否缓冲了未完成任务与共同时间投入之间的负相关关系。我们对来自79对双职工夫妇的143名员工进行了每日日记研究,提供了1052天的数据。三层次路径模型表明,未完成任务与关节活动吸收和脱离负相关,而吸收对康复体验有正向影响。此外,夫妻的时间类型匹配在联合时间投入的相互作用中起着重要作用:对于时间类型匹配高(与低)的夫妻来说,超脱的体验依赖于吸收,而对于时间类型匹配低(与高)的夫妻来说,注意力甚至对放松的体验有害。因此,在调查员工的恢复过程时,考虑他们的伴侣是至关重要的,因为如果员工还需要考虑伴侣的昼夜节律,他们就无法独立行动。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA,版权所有)。
