Abstract
Existing research suggests a relationship between negative work events and fatigue. End-of-workday fatigue is identified as a potential risk factor that contributes to worse overall well-being and diminished productivity. This study investigates how negative work events affect fatigue, utilizing a holistic approach that considers a variety of negative work events. Additionally, the study explores the moderation effect of positive work events on the relationship between negative work events and fatigue. Positive work events have not been researched to the extent that negative work events have, however, literature suggests that positive work events may be able to help people recover more quickly from experiencing negative events. The relationship of the three study variables was investigated, keeping in mind the principles of Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (1989) and Fredrickson and Levenson’s (1998) undoing effect. The study utilized a 10-day diary study design, with a sample of 96 participants. The results show that while negative work events lead to higher fatigue levels, positive work events do not create a significant buffer which reduces the effect. The study adds to the literature by engaging an extensive taxonomy of work events, and further adds valuable research exploring the impact of positive work events.
