“…The results from the exploratory analyses reflect this pattern of findings for all sleep components. We integrate the assumptions of CAPS theory and the SDM, and complement research on daily fluctuations of perfectionism (Mohr et al, 2022). Thus, not only is dynamic perfectionism shaped by stressful work experiences but also perfectionism as a fairly stable trait shapes these experiences.…”

“…To summarize, the study contributes to and extends the occupational health psychology and personality psychology literature in three important ways: First, concerning the literature on perfectionism, we broaden the knowledge of mechanisms in the work (i.e., stressors) and nonwork area (i.e., recovery) that explains the different associations between perfectionism and sleep quality by examining time pressure and detachment as a potential serial mechanism. Drawing on CAPS theory, we complement the dynamic perspective from previous research, which demonstrated that situational cues, such as time pressure, may trigger daily fluctuations of perfectionism (Mohr et al, 2022). Thus, we enhance knowledge of how perfectionism shapes work experiences and is mutually shaped by these experiences.…”

Socially prescribed perfectionism (SPP) but not self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) makes individuals vulnerable for impaired sleep quality. However, the mechanisms that link multidimensional perfectionism to varying sleep remain unclear, especially in applied settings, such as the workplace. Integrating the cognitive–affective personality system theory and the stressor–detachment model (SDM), we proposed time pressure and detachment as relevant mechanisms. We expected SPP to have a negative indirect effect on daily sleep quality through detachment and a serial mediation of time pressure and detachment. Further, we expected SOP to show ambivalent effects, displaying a negative indirect effect on daily sleep quality through detachment, but also a positive indirect effect through serial mediation. We tested our hypotheses with data from 70 employees that participated in a diary study over 5 consecutive days (day level N = 233). Results from multilevel path analyses provided support for the expected serial mediation linking SPP to impaired sleep quality. Additional exploratory analyses confirmed this serial mediation for all four components of sleep quality. Further, a direct positive effect of SOP on sleep quality was found. Our findings highlight the conjoint role of mechanisms in the work and nonwork area, that is, time pressure and subsequent detachment, for the association between SPP and sleep quality. Thus, the results suggest an active role of individuals in contributing to job stressors. We discuss personality as an additional predictor in the SDM and how organizations may include individual and organizational sources of stress in comprehensive intervention approaches.

“…Previous studies have shown that irrational thoughts can objectively undermine individual performance [27]. In addition, they have been linked with high and strict evaluation standards (e.g., perfectionism) and one's work overinvestment due to feelings of internal inadequacy and guilt (e.g., workaholism), which usually result in reduced well-being and distress [7,[28][29][30][31]. For this reason, we argue that irrational beliefs may be harmful to wellbeing at work because they may hinder employees' perceptions of their own performance and, more specifically, the degree to which they are matching performance expectations.…”

This study explored the association between irrational beliefs—i.e., rigid, unrealistic, and illogical convictions that people hold—and well-being at work. In detail, we tested whether secondary irrational beliefs (i.e., self-depreciation, low frustration tolerance, and awfulizing) displayed both common and unique associations with well-being. Furthermore, we investigated whether the perceived degree of performance expectations’ fulfillment mediate such associations. Data were collected on a sample of 3576 employees from companies providing business and consulting services. Results showed that the general irrationality factor and awfulizing were negatively associated with well-being, both directly and indirectly (via a lower degree of performance expectations’ fulfillment). Low frustration tolerance was positively related with the performance expectations’ fulfillment, which, in turn, fully mediated its association with well-being. Self-depreciation did not relate to our outcomes. The study contributes to the advancement of irrational beliefs literature as it is the first to disentangle the common and unique associations they have with well-being at work and identified the perceived fulfillment of performance expectations as a relevant mediating mechanism in the workplace. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
