In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the boundaries between the work and nonwork domain have rapidly blurred, presenting employees with new challenges and potentially heightening interference of the work with the nonwork domain (work-home interference, WHI) and vice versa (home-work interference, HWI). To counteract these interferences, employees...
Article
Crafting research has often focused solely on the work domain or examined work and non‐work life domains separately, using a variable‐centered approach. Little is known about the interactions of crafting processes in the work and non‐work domain. In this time‐lagged study, we examined (1) the relationship between job and off‐job crafting behaviours...

Shaping off-job life is becoming increasingly important for workers to increase and maintain their optimal functioning (i.e., feeling and performing well). Proactively shaping the job domain (referred to as job crafting) has been extensively studied, but crafting in the off-job domain has received markedly less research attention. Based on the Inte...

Poster
The Big Five taxonomy describes basic aspects of human personality. Nevertheless, it seems necessary to extend the Big Five as there is new empirical evidence supporting the existence of a continuous distribution of psychotic-like experiences in the general population. Particularly, the lexical approach, which is constitutive for the Big Five tax...

By investigating 900 adolescents from Christian academic high schools in the southwest of Germany, the study a...
