| dc.description.abstract | Student-employees face incredible demands on their time and resources, yet little
research exists assessing the degree to which they are able to recover from their
demands. The current study aimed to determine the extent to which certain recovery
processes contribute to the well-being of student-employees, and whether work can
serve as an opportunity to recover from school, and vice versa. Additionally, the
importance of regulatory focus in predicting an individual’s engagement in recovery
processes and the interaction between recovery processes and regulatory focus in
predicting well-being was examined. In order to investigate these questions, data were
collected daily for 12 days from 268 undergraduate students who were also employed.
Results revealed that participation in relaxation and mastery activities is very important
for well-being, with psychological detachment from school appearing to have some
positive benefits, and with psychological detachment from work having little value.
Prevention focus was negatively related to well-being, but was not related to
psychological detachment while promotion focus was somewhat related to engagement
in relaxation and detachment. Lastly, prevention focus did not interact with detachment
in a consistent manner to influence well-being. Results suggest that detachment does
not seem to be as important for student-employees as is engaging in relaxation and
mastery processes. | en_US |
