dc.description.abstract | Commuting is a global phenomenon that has primarily been studied in terms of its
costs. However, anecdotes and recent theorizing suggest that some employees
enjoy their commutes. Is it, thus, possible that commuting can also be beneficial for
employees? We integrate the Work–Home Resources model with the Conservation of
Resources theory to conceptualize commuting as a source of recovery that facilitates
daily resource gain spanning the commute-, work-, and home domain. Specifically,
we hypothesize that morning commute recovery experiences (relaxation, mastery
and detachment) trigger resource gains in the work domain, manifesting in increased
subjective vitality as a manifestation of physical and cognitive energy. Higher levels of
subjective vitality in the work domain, in turn, are positively related to work-to-home
commute recovery experiences and associated subjective vitality in the home domain.
Furthermore, we explore commute duration as a contingency factor of the relationships
between commute recovery experiences and subjective vitality at work and home. A diary across ten workdays largely supports our hypothesized model. On days with
higher levels of relaxation during the morning commute, employees experience daily
resource gains that culminate in increased evening subjective vitality in the home domain
through relaxation during the evening commute. | en_US |
