Affective work-related daily events, and changing characteristics of the work context: new challenges for management practices to deliver employees’ well-being and workplace performance
Affective experiences resulting from specific work-events are present everywhere in daily work. Its importance has been
highlighted for both managers and researchers. However, research into the understanding of how contextual factors, such
as job characteristics or management practices, influence work-related daily events, which in turn, affect individual
performance and well-being has been narrow, incomplete, and problematic. This project aims to explore the relationships
between new characteristics of the work context, daily events at work, performance management practices and other
outcomes in a longitudinal approach. Accordingly, this project focuses on: (a) the work characteristics associated to workrelated daily events, over time; (b) the relationship between daily events and performance and health, over time; d) the
influence of high performance management practices on those relationships. By addressing the relationship between
contextual factors with work-related daily events at work over time, this project makes important contributions to theory
development within the field. The findings may help managers to understand how daily events influences employees’
performance and well-being. Moreover, it will help to produce practical instruments and to develop strategies to deal with
daily events that may improve productivity and quality of life at work.
