Abstract
The modern workforce is increasingly burdened by escalating workloads and the associated stress, calling for a closer examination of its impact on employee well-being and performance. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between occupational stressors and strain, with a focus on the moderating effect of self-reflection as a component of self-regulation. Drawing on self-regulation theory, we hypothesized that occupational stressors positively predict strain and that a self-reflection intervention would buffer this relationship. A two-week experimental design was employed, involving 66 participants randomly assigned to either a self-reflection intervention group or a control group. Participants completed daily surveys measuring occupational stressors, emotional exhaustion, and self-reflection. The results confirmed a significant positive relationship between occupational stressors and strain, supporting the first hypothesis. However, the self-reflection intervention did not significantly moderate this relationship, leading to the rejection of the second hypothesis. Keywords: self-reflection, occupational stressors, strain
