Abstract

ABSTRACT This person-centred investigation seeks to understand the main configurations taken by four critical dimensions of work recovery experiences (i.e., relaxation, control, mastery, and psychological detachment) among distinct profiles of workers. Capitalizing on a sample of 442 employees who completed the same set of measures two times across a time interval of three months, we further investigate the longitudinal stability of these profiles and of their relations with a series of work-related predictors and well-being indicators. Our results revealed four profiles identical at both time points: Plugged In, Moderately Unplugged, Moderately Plugged In, and Unplugged. These profiles displayed a moderate to high level of within-person stability over time. Workaholism, personal life orientation, and colleagues’ norms about the need to rapidly follow up on work-related messages were all found to be associated with profile membership. Levels of emotional exhaustion and somatization also differed across profiles.
