Our study examines how flow experiences as a volatile personal resource can facilitate teleworkers' functioning and well-being at work and at home through effortless self-regulation. Drawing on the work-home resources model, we argue that daily flow experiences promote teleworkers' work domain functioning (e.g., work engagement and need for recovery) and home domain well-being (e.g., subjective vitality and regulatory resource depletion) through reducing work-home interruption behaviors. Furthermore, we propose that states of high daily morning mindfulness act as another volatile personal resource that can support teleworkers' functioning and well-being on days with lower levels of flow experiences by attenuating the daily relationship between flow experiences and work-home interruption behaviors. Results from an experience sampling study with teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 87 individuals across N = 607 days) support our hypotheses that reduced work-home interruption behaviors mediate the daily relationships between daily flow experiences and work engagement, need for recovery, subjective vitality, and regulatory resource depletion. Our results further highlight that these indirect relationships became weaker on days when teleworkers experience higher, as compared to lower, mindfulness in the morning. Thus, on days with lower levels of flow experiences, mindfulness can be an effective way to facilitate functioning and well-being across domains. Our findings offer theoretical insights and practical implications by revealing how teleworkers can remain both productive and healthy.

Drawing on social comparison and social self-preservation theories, the present research identifies perceived lower performance as a social stressor and investigates a dual mechanism through which individuals with relatively low performance engage in social self-preservation responses. We argue that perceived lower performance is likely to elicit social-evaluative threat, which, contingent on individuals' growth or fixed mindset, triggers either an upward assimilative or contrastive motive. Upward assimilative motive leads to self-improvement initiatives (i.e., learning from higher performers). Upward contrastive motive leads to self-protection strategies (i.e., withdrawal behavior, performance appraisal accusation). The results of a multitime survey (N = 371), an online experiment (N = 394), and a classroom-based observational study (N = 183) largely provide support for the hypotheses.

Trauma-related coping self-efficacy (CSE) has been identified as a protective factor in posttraumatic recovery, yet little is known about its role in high-risk occupations. This study integrates the CSE framework into the cumulative burden model and examines longitudinal associations of CSE and accumulated critical incident history (CIH) with PTSS 1 year later in 2,954 police officers, while adjusting for multiple individual and organizational risk factors. The study also examines whether CIH modifies the CSE-PTSS association. Results showed that CSE was inversely associated, and CIH positively associated, with later PTSS. A small yet significant CIH × CSE interaction was found and stratified analyses indicated stronger CSE-PTSS associations at higher levels of CIH. Notably, post hoc analyses also showed lower mean CSE among officers with the highest CIH, indicating a potentially concerning pattern between cumulative exposure and strained CSE beliefs. The study provides novel etiological insights into the interplay of CSE as a protective factor and CIH as an occupational risk, underscoring their value in organizational prevention. Given the modest effect size, the interaction warrants cautious interpretation, although main findings remained consistent across sensitivity analyses, including models accounting for exposure during the 1-year follow up. Future research is needed to clarify the mechanisms linking critical incident exposure, CSE, and PTSS, and to identify factors that strengthen CSE in policing and other high-risk occupations.

However, this apparent stability may mask meaningful changes that earlier research could not detect, as prior studies often lacked designs suited to capturing shocks that alter the work-family interface and relied on long measurement intervals that can miss the adaptation process. To elucidate changes in employees' work-family interface and the resources that enable adaptation, we examine the work-eldercare interface among working informal caregivers of older adults in Singapore (N = 193) during the COVID-19 pandemic using a three-wave, \"shortitudinal\" design (prepandemic, during lockdown, postlockdown). Growth curve modeling revealed differential trajectories across work-eldercare constructs; work-to-eldercare conflict continued to worsen over time, eldercare-to-work conflict exhibited a partial rebound pattern, work-to-eldercare enrichment was maintained over time, and eldercare-to-work enrichment showed an improvement pattern. We also uncover important variations in how (i.e., as a stable reservoir or a dynamic supply) and for whom support at work (family-supportive supervisor behaviors [FSSBs]) and family (work-supportive family [WSF]) facilitated adaptation. Beyond between-person FSSB, within-person increases in FSSB predicted favorable trajectories of all four work-eldercare experiences. Within-person WSF did not influence trajectories beyond between-person WSF. Trait resilience enhanced the benefits of between-person FSSB and WSF on initial eldercare-to-work enrichment and work-to-eldercare enrichment, respectively, whereas within-person FSSB and WSF related to the eldercare-to-work conflict trajectory only among those lower on trait resilience.

To address this question, we examine spillover effects of a brief meditation in the evening on next-day extra-role performance, in-role performance, and work engagement, considering perspective taking as explaining mechanism. Sixty-four participants from different sectors in Germany took part in our within-person field experiment over 10 days, receiving a 7-min mindfulness intervention on 5 days and an active control intervention on the other days. Our results supported a positive effect of the mindfulness intervention on next-day perspective taking, while the control intervention showed no effect. In turn, perspective taking predicted day-specific extra-role performance, in-role performance, and work engagement. The mindfulness intervention exerted significant indirect effects on all outcomes via perspective taking. These results help to clarify how an evening meditation enhances our understanding of others at work, improving performance and motivation. They further support employees in making an informed decision about whether they want to engage in evening meditation.

The present study addresses these limitations by investigating a curvilinear effect in the daily experience of workload and daily procrastination and including trait mindfulness as a person-related boundary condition. Using a daily diary design, we collected data from 159 full-time employees via two surveys per day over two consecutive working weeks and obtained 2,626 daily observations (i.e., 1,352 work-time surveys and 1,274 after-work surveys). Results of the multilevel analysis indicated a significant interaction between daily workload and trait mindfulness on daily procrastination. Specifically, employees with high trait mindfulness show a significant U-shaped curve, whereas those with lower trait mindfulness levels show a significant inverted U-shaped relationship. Furthermore, these effects indirectly influence both performance and daily well-being through their impact on daily procrastination. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

We address these unhealthy behaviors by evaluating an individual-level intervention based on the principle of mental contrasting with implementation intentions targeted at increasing physical activity and decreasing unhealthy snacking during the workday. In addition to evaluating intervention effectiveness (compared to a passive control group), we also contrast two intervention groups: Participants were either randomly allocated to refresher interventions focusing on physical activity versus unhealthy snacking each day (daily-assignment intervention group) or could decide which behavior to focus on each day (daily-choice intervention group). We employed a randomized controlled design within a daily diary study (73 employees, 516 days). Between-person results showed that the intervention successfully improved employees' accelerometer-assessed physical activity during the 2-week study phase. Moreover, participants in the daily-choice intervention group were more physically active than participants in the daily-assignment intervention group. Within-person results did not provide evidence of an additional benefit from daily intervention refreshers. The intervention was ineffective at reducing unhealthy snacking at work. Exploratory analyses suggested that the intervention was more effective in work environments characterized by higher levels of job stressors (for both physical activity and unhealthy snacking) and among individuals with higher baseline levels of unhealthy snacking. These findings highlight the potential of mental contrasting with implementation intention interventions in promoting health behaviors during the workday while suggesting that behavioral choice and individual boundary conditions (i.e., baseline levels and work context) can further enhance intervention effectiveness.
