“…In other words, recovery eliminates-or at least alleviates-the mood and performance-related effects of stressors and restores individual well-being and performance potential. As a result, an individual's functioning returns to its prestressor level (Craig & Cooper, 1992;Meijman & Mulder, 1998). Recovery from workrelated strain and its associated improvement of mood requires that work stressors cease to impact on the individual and that no further demands are put on the resources that were called upon during the work process (Craig & Cooper, 1992;Meijman & Mulder, 1998).…”

In simple terms, the probability to recover will be low if a person continues to pursue job-related activities during off-job time (Sonnentag, 2001).…”

Psychological detachment from work refers to the off-job experience of "switching off" mentally. It is hypothesized that a high degree of workload encountered during the work day has a negative impact on subsequent detachment processes and that psychological detachment from work is positively related to well-being. Eighty-seven individuals from various occupations provided questionnaire and daily survey measures over a period of 3 working days. Multilevel analysis showed that workload was negatively related to psychological detachment from work during evening hours. Psychological detachment from work was associated with positive mood and low fatigue. The negative relationship between psychological detachment and fatigue was particularly strong on days with high time pressure.

“…Under normal conditions, psychobiological systems return to baseline levels when stressors are absent. During this process of unwinding-also known as recovery-the organism returns to prestressor levels of functioning, and the prestressor homeostasis of physiological and psycho-logical systems is restored (Craig & Cooper, 1992;Linden, Earle, Gerin, & Christenfeld, 1997). Typically, this process takes place in the after-work period, usually the evening.…”

“…It is associated with a wish for low baseline activity (Craig & Cooper, 1992) and with the expectation that such a break is necessary in order to be able and willing to confront future demands. Need for recovery refers to a very early stage of a long-term strain process.…”

Two empirical studies examined need for recovery (i.e., a person's desire to be temporarily relieved from demands in order to restore his or her resources) as a mediator in the relationship between poor job characteristics (high job demands, low job control) and high off-job demands, on the one hand, and fatigue and poor individual well-being, on the other hand. Multilevel data from a daily survey study in the health service sector (Study 1) showed that high job demands, low job control, and unfavorable off-job activities predicted a high need for recovery. Need for recovery in turn was negatively related to individual well-being. A large-scale survey with a representative sample of the Dutch working population (Study 2) confirmed these findings for fatigue. In both studies, need for recovery mediated the effects of job characteristics and off-job activities on fatigue and poor well-being, respectively.
