“…This assumption is grounded in theoretical advances on entrainment and on research on cyclical patterns in affective states. The concept of entrainment describes the synchronization of human activities with other processes in terms of pace, cycle, or rhythm (Ancona et al, 2001). Entrainment has been used to explain how variation in daily moods displays a periodicity that corresponds to our 7-day week (Larsen & Kasimatis, 1990).…”

“…Traditionally, recovery researchers have either not considered withinperson and between-person fluctuations across days or treated them as a source of error variance. However, theoretical advances on entrainment (Ancona, Okhuysen, & Perlow, 2001) and research on cyclical patterns in affective states (Beal & Ghandour, 2011;Larsen & Kasimatis, 1990;Watson, 2000) suggest that withinperson variability of recovery-related constructs across days may be a function of the day of the week. The purpose of our research was therefore to contribute to a better understanding of week-level change patterns in recovery processes by studying change trajectories in psychological detachment and sleep quality and the role of trait mindfulness in explaining individual differences in these change trajectories.…”

In this research, we examined the role of mindfulness for recovery from work using a daily diary design (N ϭ 121; 5 days; 3 measurement occasions per day). The first goal of the study was to investigate the relationship of mindfulness with sleep quality and the mediating role of psychological detachment from a day-level perspective. A second goal was to extend the process perspective in recovery research beyond the day level and consider systematic change trajectories in recovery variables over the course of the work week and the role of mindfulness in these trajectories. Results regarding day-level relationships confirmed that mindfulness experienced during work was related to subsequent sleep quality, and this relationship was mediated by psychological detachment from work in the evening. Furthermore, an investigation of the role of mindfulness in recovery change trajectories supported the idea that psychological detachment trajectories increase over the work week for individuals low on mindfulness while there was no systematic mean-level change for individuals high on mindfulness. In contrast, sleep quality followed a linear increase from Monday to Friday for all individuals, irrespective of their levels of trait mindfulness. Practical and theoretical implications for the mindfulness and the recovery literature are discussed in conclusion.

“…Several researchers have recently emphasized the importance of time in organizations (Ancona, Goodman, Lawrence, & Tushman, 2001;Ancona, Okhuysen, & Perlow, 2001;Blount & Janicik, 2001;Mitchell & James, 2001). One especially important type of time is cyclical time, in which the timing of events recurs regularly (Ancona, Okhuysen, & Perlow, 2001).…”

The authors examine the differential influence of time changes associated with Daylight Saving Time on sleep quantity and associated workplace injuries. In Study 1, the authors used a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health database of mining injuries for the years 1983-2006, and they found that in comparison with other days, on Mondays directly following the switch to Daylight Saving Time-in which 1 hr is lost-workers sustain more workplace injuries and injuries of greater severity. In Study 2, the authors used a Bureau of Labor Statistics database of time use for the years 2003-2006, and they found indirect evidence for the mediating role of sleep in the Daylight Saving Time-injuries relationship, showing that on Mondays directly following the switch to Daylight Saving Time, workers sleep on average 40 min less than on other days. On Mondays directly following the switch to Standard Timein which 1 hr is gained-there are no significant differences in sleep, injury quantity, or injury severity.

This study considers the complex dynamics of work motivation. Forty-eight employees completed a work-motivation diary several times per day over a period of four weeks. The obtained time series were analysed using different methodologies derived from chaos theory (i.e. recurrence plots, Lyapunov exponents, correlation dimension and surrogate data). Results showed chaotic dynamics in 75% of cases. The findings confirm the universality of chaotic behavior within human behavior, challenge some of the underlying assumptions on which work motivation theories are based, and suggest that chaos theory may offer useful and relevant information on how this process is managed within organizations. Keywords: work motivation, deterministic chaos, complexity science, diary technique.Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de explorar la posible dinámica caótica de la motivación en el trabajo. Cuarenta y ocho trabajadores contestaron un diario sobre su motivación en el trabajo varias veces al día durante cuatro semanas. Las series obtenidas fueron sometidas a diferentes técnicas de análisis no lineal derivadas de la teoría del caos (gráficos de recurrencia, exponentes de Lyapunov, dimensión de correlación y surrogate data). Los resultados mostraron dinámicas caóticas en un 75% de los casos. Ello confirma la universalidad del comportamiento caótico también dentro del comportamiento humano. Tales resultados cuestionan algunos de los supuestos fundamentales en los que se basan las teorías más establecidas y sugieren que la teoría del caos puede ofrecer información útil y relevante acerca de cómo gestionar la motivación en contextos laborales.Palabras clave: motivación en el trabajo, caos determinista, ciencia de la complejidad, técnica del diario.
