Course Description: Occupational stress and work recovery have been researched using various conceptual facets. Five well-established concepts that pertain to work-related thoughts when an individual is not working were scrutinized in this study. These concepts included: (1) psychological detachment, (2) affective rumination, (3) problem-solving pondering, (4) positive work reflection, and (5) negative work reflection. It was determined that a high level of overlap was existent between various terms (e.g. psychological detachment, cognitive irritation) even though the five facets of work-related rumination were distinct from related concepts (e.g. burnout, work engagement) that have previously been identified in other studies.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the five concepts described as work-related rumination
