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

For several weeks, attempts were made to contact the researcher to begin the procedures for her contract with the UB. Due to the lack of response from the researcher, we contacted the European Commission, finally she is granted a postponement so that her contract begins on 1st March 2022. Finally, the researcher decides to renounce the scholarship. Dear Sheila and Professor Navarro, Today I received formal notification from my institution (to whom I hold a contract). They decided not to allow me to go on the scholarship. During this time, my director advised me not to communicate before as he did not know whether they would allow me or not to go with a license without a wage. Best regards, ana

Project objective

Affective experiences resulting from specific work-events are present everywhere in daily work. Its importance has beenhighlighted for both managers and researchers. However, research into the understanding of how contextual factors, suchas job characteristics or management practices, influence work-related daily events, which in turn, affect individualperformance and well-being has been narrow, incomplete, and problematic. This project aims to explore the relationshipsbetween new characteristics of the work context, daily events at work, performance management practices and otheroutcomes 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) theinfluence of high performance management practices on those relationships. By addressing the relationship betweencontextual factors with work-related daily events at work over time, this project makes important contributions to theorydevelopment 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 withdaily events that may improve productivity and quality of life at work.
