“…Overcommitment is consistently linked to indicators of impaired energetic well-being, such as fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. Meta-analyses of psychological detachment [ 8 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ] have also consistently found links to indicators of energetic well-being. We therefore focus on three aspects of work fatigue as suggested in the tripartite conceptualization of fatigue, namely (1) physical, (2) cognitive, and (3) emotional fatigue [ 69 ].…”

“…Psychological detachment —“the sense of being away from the work situation” [ 11 ] (p. 579)—has been widely studied, and many reviews [ 2 ] and meta-analyses [ 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ] have consistently found that psychological detachment relates to higher levels of employee well-being and health. Jimenez et al [ 8 ] described psychological detachment as the construct that captures work-related thinking during off-job time in its purest form, as it neither explicitly captures the content and valence of thoughts about work, nor taps into affective experiences associated with these thoughts.…”

Work-related thoughts during off-job time have been studied extensively in occupational health psychology and related fields. We provide a focused review of the research on overcommitment—a component within the effort–reward imbalance model—and aim to connect this line of research to the most commonly studied aspects of work-related rumination. Drawing on this integrative review, we analyze survey data on ten facets of work-related rumination, namely (1) overcommitment, (2) psychological detachment, (3) affective rumination, (4) problem-solving pondering, (5) positive work reflection, (6) negative work reflection, (7) distraction, (8) cognitive irritation, (9) emotional irritation, and (10) inability to recover. First, we apply exploratory factor analysis to self-reported survey data from 357 employees to calibrate overcommitment items and to position overcommitment within the nomological net of work-related rumination constructs. Second, we leverage apply confirmatory factor analysis to self-reported survey data from 388 employees to provide a more specific test of uniqueness vs. overlap among these constructs. Third, we apply relative weight analysis to assess the unique criterion-related validity of each work-related rumination facet regarding (1) physical fatigue, (2) cognitive fatigue, (3) emotional fatigue, (4) burnout, (5) psychosomatic complaints, and (6) satisfaction with life. Our results suggest that several measures of work-related rumination (e.g., overcommitment and cognitive irritation) can be used interchangeably. Emotional irritation and affective rumination emerge as the strongest unique predictors of fatigue, burnout, psychosomatic complaints, and satisfaction with life. Our study is intended to assist researchers in making informed decisions on selecting scales for their research and paves the way for integrating research on the effort–reward imbalance and work-related rumination.

“…As evident from our review on overcommitment correlates, overcommitment is consistently linked to indicators of reduced energetic well-being, such as fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and burnout. Metaanalyses on psychological detachment [8,[50][51][52][53] have consistently found links to indicators of energetic well-being, as well. We therefore focus on three aspects of work fatigue as suggested in the tripartite conceptualization of fatigue, namely (1) physical, (2) cognitive, and (3) emotional fatigue [67].…”

“…Recovery experiences are often studied (Bennett et al, 2018 ; Headrick et al, 2022 ; Steed et al, 2021 ) in the framework of Sonnentag and Fritz ( 2007 ), who proposed the four recovery experience dimensions of detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control. Demerouti et al ( 2012 ), however, proposed a general construct of the recovery experience at work, which refers to the degree to which individuals perceive that a break was helpful for recovery and the restoration of energy resources.…”

Live-streaming Activity and Relaxation Breaks: a (Home-)Office-Compatible Approach to Promote Break Recovery, Mood, and Attention?

The aim of this study is to investigate whether short, live-streaming activity and relaxation lunch breaks have positive associations with office workers’ mood (calmness, valence, and energetic arousal), back pain, and attention after break and whether these associations are mediated by better break recovery. Additionally, we considered the two respite interventions as resources possibly buffering the effects of elevated situational job demands. Ten-minute break exercises were conducted during lunch breaks via Zoom live-stream, and data on those days were compared with data on days on which participants spent their breaks as usual. Our sample of 34 office workers provided data for 277 work days (209 in the home office and 68 on site at the company). Multilevel path models revealed positive total associations of both respite interventions with the mood dimension of calmness. Activity breaks additionally showed a positive association with the energetic arousal dimension of mood, while relaxation breaks were positively related to objectively measured cognitive performance. Interestingly, activity breaks moderated the relationships of job demands with calmness and valence, indicating their function as a stress-buffering resource. There were no significant associations between the two respite interventions and back pain. Supplemented by participants’ feedback, the findings of this study suggest that offering short virtually guided break exercises may represent a feasible and office-compatible approach to promote break recovery, mood and functionality at work, especially regarding home-office work. Possible advantages and disadvantages of the live-streaming format are discussed.
