While this shift enhances employee flexibility and work-life balance, it also introduces challenges, particularly regarding social connectedness and information exchange. Due to these challenges, it may be harder when working remotely to fulfil central work-related needs, as described by self-determination theory (SDT), resulting in workplace fear of missing out (wFoMO) – the anxiety of not being up-to-date stemming from physical disconnection from the office. This article addresses the underexplored relationship between remote work and wFoMO. We present three studies employing a multimethodological approach: Study 1 offers cross-sectional insights into the relationship between remote work and wFoMO; Study 2 and Study 3 are experimental, and their results indicate that wFoMO is heightened when individuals' needs, specifically those associated with relatedness, competence, and autonomy, are unmet in a remote work environment. Additionally, Study 3 reveals that when the need for autonomy is unmet, this leads to lower employee well-being via wFoMO. Collectively, these studies illuminate the complexities of remote work, specifically conditions under which remote work may be challenging for employees. Furthermore, these studies emphasize implications of remote work for wFoMO, and consequently, employee well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":48330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology","volume":"98 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joop.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145237074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study refers to the hierarchical job crafting conceptualization, distinguishing between behavioural and cognitive changes in job demands and resources, to investigate the links between avoidance crafting dimensions and exhaustion at both between and within-person levels.

Given that job demands limit the available resources for activities outside of job descriptions, any additional resources devoted to self-sacrifice are likely to be appraised as particularly costly and meaningful for leaders with higher job demands. We therefore posit that the strength of the motivating effects of LSS will be strengthened by job demands.

Although the utilization of such measures is increasingly common and accepted across various disciplines, there remains no comprehensive analysis of their validity to date. The present meta-analysis (<i>k</i> = 30) examines the structural and predictive validity of both traditional survey-based measures of personality and recently introduced unobtrusive, archival approaches for assessing Big Five personality traits. Our results suggest that when CEO personality is assessed with survey methods, the relationships both (a) between traits and (b) between traits and firm performance outcomes broadly reflect those seen in prior leadership literature. However, results from archival approaches demonstrated substantially higher intercorrelations between traits and failed to be predictive of firm performance outcomes.

This study examines the evolution of public support for a legal right to work from home in Germany over the course of the pandemic as a ‘natural homeworking experiment’. Drawing on normative policy feedback theory, we hypothesize that support initially increased among groups with lower bargaining power before diffusing to the broader population. We use longitudinal data from 2705 individuals (8368 person-years) surveyed four times between January 2020 and January 2022. Findings confirm that public support for such regulation increased over the first 2 years of the pandemic, with temporary stagnation in fall 2021 but stronger growth towards the end of containment measures. At that stage, support also grew among groups initially less supportive of the law.
