Résumé
Advances in technology such as mobile devices, coupled with increasing recognition that work can be done any time, any place, has led to continuing growth in employees’ engagement with work after business hours, or after-hours work connectivity (AHWC). Prior research has recognized AHWC as a stressful experience for employees. While most research views AHWC as a negative stressor with detrimental consequences, other studies have showed the opposite – that AHWC provides benefits to employees. In this research, we draw upon the transactional model of stress and coping (TMSC) to provide a holistic understanding of AHWC as a work-related stressor with both positive and negative potential.
Our model posits that (1) employees form various perceptions about this stressor, (2) they undertake different coping strategies based on their cognitive evaluation of AHWC, and (3) their coping strategies are differentially associated with their job satisfaction. We used several analytical techniques (i.e., cluster analysis, MANOVA, PLS-SEM, and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)) to test our research model. We identified four distinct groups of employees, whose evaluations of AHWC differ in terms of primary appraisal (threat, challenge) and secondary appraisal (control). We found that each group engages with coping strategies reflecting their AHWC appraisal. Finally, using PLS-SEM and fsQCA techniques, we demonstrated that experiencing job satisfaction is a function of the synergic effects of coping strategies that work together to influence employees’ outcomes and not their isolated effects.
The research and practice implications are discussed.
