Full-time employees completed multiple online surveys for 10 (n₁ = 779 daily observations) and 5 workdays (n₂ = 1,024 daily observations). In Study 1, multilevel path analysis results showed that on days when employees had poorer recovery at home (i.e., poor sleep quality), they experienced higher fatigue in the next morning (low self-regulatory capacity) and thus took microbreaks more frequently at work. In turn, their engagement in microbreaks was related to higher work engagement during the day and lower end-of-work fatigue. Furthermore, perceived health climate was found to moderate the path from morning fatigue to microbreaks. In Study 2, we replicated and confirmed the serial mediation paths found in Study 1 (poor sleep quality → morning fatigue → microbreaks → work engagement and end-of-work fatigue). Building on Study 1, Study 2 also identified microbreak autonomy as a mechanism by which perceived health climate moderates the path between morning fatigue and microbreaks (i.e., mediated moderation effect). Exploratory analyses discovered intriguing patterns of socialization microbreaks versus other microbreaks, providing further implications for the theoretical perspective. Overall, the findings support the theoretical resource perspective of microbreaks as an effective energy management strategy while at work.

A Daily Diary Study of Unhealthy Eating at Home and Behavioral Outcomes at Work}, ISSN={["1939-1854"]}, DOI={10.1037/apl0000890}, abstractNote={With abundant health-related information, the modern workforce is advised to engage in health-promoting behaviors such as good sleep, physical activities, and a healthy diet to stay productive at work. However, no study has provided a theoretical framework or empirical evidence on the association between employees' unhealthy eating behavior and the quality of their performance. Drawing from the stress and coping literature, the current study proposes a moderated mediation model to investigate the day-specific roles of (un)healthy lifestyle in regard to personal well-being and performance at work. We used daily diary data collected from 97 full-time employees and employed an experience sampling method (ESM) to examine this within-person phenomenon for 2 weeks. Our multilevel path analysis reveals that employees' unhealthy eating behavior in the evening led to emotional strain (e.g., guilt) as well as physical strain (e.g., stomachache, diarrhea) on the next morning; the emotional and physical strains experienced in the morning served as key mediators resulting in decreased quality of performance (i.e., less helping and more withdrawal behaviors) in the afternoon. Furthermore, emotional stability was found to moderate the relationship between unhealthy eating behavior and morning strains, such that employees with higher emotional stability tended to experience less negative emotions and fewer physical symptoms. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed, along with suggestions for future studies on health-related behaviors.

Furthermore, prior research has often overlooked the possibility that factors outside the work domain can influence the occurrence of actual injuries at work. To address these limitations, the current study examined the effects of work and family demands on the occurrence of workplace injury. Drawing on the intuition of the work-home resources model (W-HR), we investigated how within-person level changes in demands and resources from both domains influence work injuries over a 12-year period. Method: We used 12 years of longitudinal data (N = 7,820) to study the long-term within-person changes in work and family domains and to capture the event of low frequency incidence such as workplace injury. Specifically, we conducted multilevel analyses to study the links between within-person change in time and energy resources both in work and family domains and within-person change in the likelihood of experiencing a workplace injury. Results and conclusion: The findings showed that within-person changes in work hours, spousal work hours, income and number of children, were significantly associated with changes in the likelihood of experiencing a workplace injury. We conclude with a discussion of implications for theory and future research of workplace injuries. Practical application: The research provided useful insights on the intimate association between work and family domains in the context of safety management.}, journal={JOURNAL OF SAFETY RESEARCH}, author={Kramer, Amit and Cho, Seonghee and Gajendran, Ravi S.}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={140–149} } @article{jang_allen_kim_cho_2020, title={An examination of the temporal order of helping behaviours and emotional exhaustion}, volume={36}, ISSN={["1532-2998"]}, DOI={10.1002/smi.2943}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={STRESS AND HEALTH}, author={Jang, Seulki and Allen, Tammy D. and Kim, Eunsook and Cho, Seonghee}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={663–674} } @article{cho_carpenter_zhang_2020, title={An item-level investigation of conceptual and empirical distinctiveness of proactivity constructs}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1468-2389"]}, DOI={10.1111/ijsa.12287}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={3}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT}, author={Cho, Seonghee and Carpenter, Nichelle C. and Zhang, Bo}, year={2020}, month={Sep}, pages={337–350} } @article{cho_kim_chin_ahmad_2020, title={Daily effects of continuousICTdemands onwork-familyconflict: Negative spillover and role conflict}, volume={36}, ISSN={["1532-2998"]}, DOI={10.1002/smi.2955}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={STRESS AND HEALTH}, author={Cho, Seonghee and Kim, Sooyeol and Chin, Sean W. and Ahmad, Unber}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={533–545} } @article{cho_park_2018, title={How to benefit from weekend physical activities: Moderating roles of psychological recovery experiences and sleep}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1532-2998"]}, DOI={10.1002/smi.2831}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={STRESS AND HEALTH}, author={Cho, Seonghee and Park, YoungAh}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={639–648} } @article{cho_drasgow_cao_2015, title={An investigation of emotional intelligence measures using item response theory.}, volume={27}, ISSN={1939-134X 1040-3590}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/PAS0000132}, DOI={10.1037/PAS0000132}, abstractNote={This study investigated the psychometric properties of 3 frequently administered emotional intelligence (EI) scales (Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale [WLEIS], Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test [SEIT], and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire [TEIQue]), which were developed on the basis of different theoretical frameworks (i.e., ability EI and mixed EI). By conducting item response theory (IRT) analyses, the authors examined the item parameters and compared the fits of 2 response process models (i.e., dominance model and ideal point model) for these scales with data from 355 undergraduate sample recruited from the subject pool. Several important findings were obtained. First, the EI scales seem better able to differentiate individuals at low trait levels than high trait levels. Second, a dominance model showed better model fit to the self-report ability EI scale (WLEIS) and also fit better with most subfactors of the SEIT, except for the mood regulation/optimism factor. Both dominance and ideal point models fit a self-report mixed EI scale (TEIQue). Our findings suggest (a) the EI scales should be revised to include more items at moderate and higher trait levels; and (b) the nature of the EI construct should be considered during the process of scale development.}, number={4}, journal={Psychological Assessment}, publisher={American Psychological Association (APA)}, author={Cho, Seonghee and Drasgow, Fritz and Cao, Mengyang}, year={2015}, pages={1241–1252} }
