Employees' innovative work behavior (IWB) is one of the key factors in improving organizational competitiveness. Previous studies show that challenge and hindrance stress can impact employees' IWB, but our understanding of the exact mechanism underlying the impact is still limited. The present study employed four scales (Challenge and Hindrance…

When organisations make employees redundant, they increasingly offer outplacement counselling to them, either in-house or as a service of specialised companies.

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) can capture how sleep, stress, and well-being are related within individuals.
