| description | Employees expend a substantial amount of effort in demanding settings such as the
workplace. Recovery is crucial to help employees unwind to prepare them for the next
working day. This present study aims to address a literature gap by examining the role of coworkers in recovery experiences. 125 full-time working adults completed an online
questionnaire that measured their (a) general work stress, (b) segmentation preference, (c)
quantitative job demands, (d) support from supervisor and co-workers, (e) recovery
experiences involving and not involving co-workers, (f) frequency of involvement of coworkers in off-job activities and (g) nature and type of conversations that occurred in their
interactions with co-workers during off-job activities. Results indicated lower recovery
experiences when participants involved co-workers in their off-job activities. However, after
controlling for segmentation preferences, significant differences in recovery experiences
between involving and not involving co-workers in off-job activities were found for
individuals with higher segmentation preferences but not for individuals with lower
segmentation preferences. In addition, there were findings of interaction effects between
segmentation preference and recovery experiences. Results from regression analysis also
revealed that recovery experiences can be predicted by job demands, work conversations,
non-work conversations and support from co-workers. Implications and recommendations
derived from this study were discussed. |
