Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the economic market and labor contexts worldwide. Brazil has suffered one of the worst social and governmental managements of the COVID-19 crisis, forcing workers and organizations to develop coping strategies. This environment can affect both well-being and performance at work. Sustainable well-being at work refers to different patterns of relationships between performance and well-being. It may include eudaimonic (e.g., Meaning of Work—MOW) or hedonic (e.g., emotions) forms of well-being. This study tests the moderating role of recovery from work stress in the relationship between flexibility i-deals and patterns of sustainable well-being at work in Brazilian teleworkers. We relied on two studies to achieve this objective. In Study 1, conducted during the pandemic’s first outbreak in Brazil (N = 386), recovery experiences moderated the relationship between i-deals and clusters formed by performance and MOW (eudaimonic happiness). In Study 2, conducted during the second outbreak (N = 281), we identified relationships between clusters of emotions (hedonic happiness) and MOW (eudaimonic) with performance. The results supported the idea that recovery experiences moderated the relationship between i-deals and patterns of sustainable well-being at work differently. Our findings have implications for Human Resource Management and teleworkers, especially for employee behaviors to deal with stress.
Highlights
The 2021 outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than five million deaths worldwide [1]
Regarding Detachment from work, we found that the more a person uses Detachment and Flexibility i-deal, the more likely they were to be in the unsustainable well-being at work clusters
The analysis supports the idea that recovery experiences moderated the relationship between i-deals and sustainable well-being at work patterns, partially confirming our hypothesis (H2)
Summary
The 2021 outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than five million deaths worldwide [1]. These are accompanied by a disruption of every aspect of life, including economic and financial threats, job insecurity, and physical and mental health challenges such as stress and anxiety. More than 607,000 deaths have been reported, and the number is still growing. Aside from COVID cases, Brazilians have experienced the pandemic harshly [3]. Stress has impacted their well-being and performance differently [4], depending on their coping abilities and how they deal with norms [5] and stress
