“…The importance of the current study is due to the evidence that supports the crucial role of affective well‐being on staffs' attitude and behaviour (Laguna et al, 2019 ). Thus, employees who possess positive work‐related affect are likely to have higher job satisfaction, job commitment and job performance (Courbalay et al, 2022 ). Nonetheless, employees related affective well‐being is generally inadequately investigated (Qian & Fan, 2019 ).…”

Aim: To test a model that examines the direct and indirect effects of work-related stress on job-related affective well-being through compassion fatigue.Background: Despite the danger of infection, nurses' dedication to their work appears to be an innate desire to provide care for patients with COVID-19. Nonetheless, the universal effort to control the outbreak has led to extended work hours and workload, which has been defined as the primary contributor to work-related stress among nurses and might impact their job-related affective well-being.Method: We used a cross-sectional exploratory design. Data were collected using an online survey from 161 nurses working in the Saudi health care system. The survey included obtaining information on demographics and work-related stress using Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5 to measure compassion fatigue as well as a job-related affective well-being scale.Results: Work-related stress had significant negative direct effects on job-related affective well-being and positive effects on compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue had significantly negative direct effects on job-related affective well-being. Workrelated stress exerted negative indirect effects on job-related affective well-being through compassion fatigue, which partially mediated the relationship. Conclusion:The findings supported the model and added to our understanding regarding the impact of work-related stress on nurses.Implications for Nursing Management: Stress reduction is an important element in improving staff outcomes as well as job-related affective well-being.

“…Specifically, we argue that physical activity before work reduces threat appraisal because engaging in even short episodes of physical activity has been found to increase positive mood and affect (Kanning & Schlicht, 2010;Reed & Ones, 2006;Schultchen et al, 2019) and to decrease negative affect (Courbalay et al, 2022). We theorize that these positive shifts in emotions go along with more This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

Previous research has typically conceptualized physical activity as a recovery activity after work that promotes well-being by allowing employees to detach from work and replenish their resources. Here, we aimed to go beyond this framework by proposing a new theoretical model of how physical activity in the morning before work affects employee well-being. Drawing upon the transactional theory of stress, we theorized that physical activity before work shapes employees’ appraisal of their upcoming workday which, in turn, affects their well-being. In a preregistered study (N = 269), we utilized a within-person daily experience sampling approach to test our model. Results showed that two types of appraisals are particularly important for explaining the effects of physical activity before work on employee well-being: First, challenge appraisal mediated the effects of physical activity before work on work engagement. Second, we found an indirect effect via threat appraisal of physical activity before work on job-related anxiety. Exploratorily, we found that threat appraisal also mediated the effect of physical activity before work on emotional exhaustion. In conclusion, our results show that physical activity before work is beneficially related to several types of well-being outcomes by increasing challenge appraisal and decreasing threat appraisal. Furthermore, our study advances theoretical understanding on physical activity and work stress by shedding light on the mechanisms underlying the effect of physical activity on employee well-being and showing that physical activity before work benefits well-being by shaping how employees appraise their work situation on a day-to-day basis.

Designing Positive Experiences in Creative Workshops at Work Using a Warm UP Set Based on Psychological Needs

With working from home becoming more normalized, creative workshops are increasingly taking place in digital and hybrid form. However, participants are usually less engaged and motivated in these contexts. This is due to less physical presence and activity, complex technical systems and a lack of social interaction and communication. This leaves the facilitators with the challenge that these creative workshops are sometimes not experienced as positively, and therefore participants are not able to work as creatively. An important approach that can strengthen these factors in workshops is the use of warm-ups as a type of playful intervention. Although some research on and compilations of warm-ups exist and may help the situation, they do not yet provide direction on how to specifically promote a positive experience in creative workshops with warm-ups. An important link here is user experience research, which assumes that positive experiences are due to the fulfilment of psychological needs. Based on research about warm-ups and playful interventions in general, we derive categories for classifying warm-ups that can potentially address several specific psychological needs. Then, 28 warm-ups are selected according to their applicability in analogue, digital and hybrid application spaces. Moreover, those 28 warm-ups are assigned to the two most relevant classifying categories. The results are mapped in the form of a ready-to-use Warm UP Set, which is then evaluated for applicability from the facilitators’ perspective and regarding the influence on the emotional experience of the participants. The evaluation shows that the developed Warm UP Set with its categories seems to be suitable to support facilitators in systematically inducing positive experiences in participants in creative workshops.
