This study builds upon existing research on daily adaptive performance by focusing on two main aspects: (1) the fluctuations within individuals concerning uncertainty in relation to daily negative affect and daily adaptive performance and (2) the variations between individuals in the perceived effectiveness of their leaders as a relevant boundary condition of these relationships. Data were gathered during a pos...
Over the recent decades, organizations have had to face a number of major external shocks and crises. Acquiring a better understanding of how human resources are managed under such critical conditions constitutes the main purpose of this study. We conducted a study triangulating different sources (employees, HR managers, and secondary data) and types of data (quantitative and qualitative) to explore how employe...
This study draws on the affective events theory to understand how telework may influence workers’ well-being. Hence this study aimed to (1) analyze the indirect relationship between telework and well-being via daily micro-events, and (2) test whether procrastination would moderate this indirect effect. To test the goals, data was gathered from a sample of teleworkers in the IT sector (N=232). To analyze the dat...
Purpose This research relied on the broaden-and-build (B&B) theory to explore emotional predictors for curiosity-related differences in daily engagement and contextual performance. We tested a moderated mediation model, arguing that daily positive emotions would be related to daily work engagement and contextual performance. Design/methodology/approach A total of 586 participants participated in a five-day diar...
When we ask people to tell us the story of their lives, it is not the full extent of their biographies that we have access to, but only a partial version of it. Biographical narratives are permeated by processes of selection that imply highlighting some things while omitting others. Most of the time, what is left unsaid cannot be fully acknowledged, precisely because it is not explicitly verbalised. In the scop...

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a measure called the Tele Attitude Scale (TAS). This measure aims to evaluate relevant aspects of the teleworking experience related to its perceived effects regarding, for instance: job characteristics, perceived productivity, quality of work-related interactions, work-non-work balance, and well-being. Four studies were conducted between 2021 and 2022. Fi...
Objectives: In this study, we expand on the existing work on daily performance by focusing on (1) within-person fluctuation in perceived manager effectiveness in relation to daily positive affective experiences and daily performance and (2) between-person fluctuations in uncertainty as a relevant boundary condition of these relationships. Methods: Multilevel data from 101 managers (1,010 measurement occasions) ...
Keeping and telling secrets are acts of intimacy.

The openness of our research design played an important part in the identification of the role of secret-storytelling in the understanding ...
Aims: Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory we expected that daily micro-events, daily hassles, and uplifts at work, influenced well-being via work engagement, at the daily level. Methodology: We conducted two diary studies. In study 1, one hundred and eighty-one workers answered a daily questionnaire for four working days (N =181 × 4 = 724). In study 2, fifty-one workers filled in a questionnaire f...
