本研究旨在探讨两种不同的完美主义维度与员工在晚间休闲时间所经历的工作相关认知之间的关系。根据持续认知加工理论，我们假设完美主义的关注与工作相关的担忧和工作后的沉思有关。相比之下，我们假设理论上更具适应性的完美主义维度（完美主义追求）将与连续晚上对工作的积极评价自我反思相关。148名全职员工完成了一项初步调查，其中包括一项特质完美主义测量，报告了他们在一个工作周的连续四个晚上与工作相关的认知，在随后的每个早晨醒来后立即评估他们的睡眠质量，以及他们在每个工作日结束时的日常情绪疲惫和工作投入水平。结果表明，完美主义的关注，间接负相关的睡眠质量和工作日的功能，通过担心和反刍的倾向工作。相比之下，完美主义者的努力与工作日的参与度间接正相关，通过在晚上休闲时间体验积极的工作想法的倾向。这些研究结果的理论和实践意义进行了讨论。
This daily diary study examined relations between two distinct perfectionism dimensions and work-related cognitions experienced by employees during evening leisure time. Drawing from perseverative cognitive processing theory, we hypothesized that perfectionistic concerns would be related to work-related worry and rumination during post-work evenings. In contrast, we hypothesized that a theoretically more adaptive perfectionist dimension (perfectionistic strivings) would be associated with positively valenced self-reflections about work across consecutive evenings. A sample of 148 full-time workers completed an initial survey, which included a trait perfectionism measure, reported their work-related cognitions across four consecutive evenings of a working week, rated their sleep quality immediately upon awakening on each subsequent morning, and their daily levels of emotional exhaustion and work engagement at the end of each work day. Results showed that perfectionistic concerns were indirectly negatively associated with sleep quality and work day functioning via the tendency to worry and ruminate about work. In contrast, perfectionistic strivings were indirectly positively associated with work day engagement via the propensity to experience positive thoughts about work during evening leisure time. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
