Abstract

The Role of Work-home Interference and Workplace Learning in the Energy-depletion Process

Highlights

  • It is generally acknowledged that stress-related problems in the workplace are costly for human well-being, and for societies at large (European Commission, 2002)

  • The first one builds upon the ‘classical’ process of energy depletion. Job demands such as high workload or emotional demands, may exhaust the energy reserves of an employee, causing stress-related problems, which may lead to health problems

Summary

Introduction

It is generally acknowledged that stress-related problems in the workplace are costly for human well-being, and for societies at large (European Commission, 2002). Numerous studies have shown that effective job design is a powerful tool for managers in order to prevent work-related problems such as psychological fatigue (e.g., de Croon, Blonk, de Zwart, Frings-Dresen, & Broersen, 2002), absenteeism (e.g., Dwyer & Ganster, 1991; Schaufeli, Bakker, & van Rhenen, 2009) and higher turnover rates (e.g., Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004) Most of these studies fall into the category of work stress studies (i.e., research into the effects of work characteristics on strain and other negative work outcomes) and only a relatively smaller amount of studies has been conducted on the effects of work characteristics on learning and positive learning-related outcomes, referred to as workplace learning studies (e.g., Parker, Wall, & Cordery, 2001; Rau, 2006; Taris & Kompier, 2004). This idea was put forward by Karasek in his widespread Job Demands Control (JDC) model (Karasek, 1979; Karasek & Theorell, 1990) in which he already acknowledged that the working place is a place for learning and that strain and learning outcomes are interrelated
