Abstract
The current research investigates the relationship between positive and negative work events and well-being, conceptualized and measured as the levels of mental fatigue. Additionally, the study explores the moderating effect of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) on this relationship, where SPS is expected to influence the level to which daily work events affect the levels of mental fatigue at the end of a workday. The sample consists of 144 employees from diverse industries. Data was collected using self-report measures of work events, mental fatigue, and SPS at the beginning of the study and after every workday, using daily diary study design, for two work weeks. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the main effects and interaction effects of work events and SPS on mental fatigue. Findings suggest that negative events were significantly related to mental fatigue at the end of the workday, while positive events were not. SPS did not have a significant impact in the relationship between work events and mental fatigue. These findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between work events, mental fatigue, and SPS. The results are discussed, including possible explanations for lack of support for some of the hypotheses in this study.
