Abstract
Psychological stress has been associated with various negative health outcomes. Stressors in the workplace may be experienced by employees on a daily basis and cause impaired employee well-being. This study examined the effect of hindrance stressors on employees’ sleep quality and tested whether engagement in self-reflection moderates this relationship. The hypotheses are built on the Job Demands-Control Model and the Systematic Self-Reflection Model. I tested my hypotheses using a 10-working-day diary design. The sample consisted of 84 employees who work for at least 20 hours per week. After completing a baseline questionnaire, the participants received daily afternoon and evening surveys, which measured their levels of hindrance stressors, sleep quality, and self-reflection. The results showed evidence supporting the negative impact of hindrance stressors on sleep quality. However, no significant effect was found for the moderating role of self-reflection. The findings emphasize the importance of implementing strategies to reduce hindrance stressors in organizations to improve employee well-being. In addition, future research should explore the topic of work stress-management by investigating other stress-coping methods besides self-reflection.
