Abstract(s)
Purpose – Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory, the authors expected that daily micro-events,
daily hassles and uplifts at work influenced well-being via work engagement at the daily level.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted two diary studies. In study 1, 181 workers
answered a daily questionnaire for four working days (N 5 181 3 4 5 724). In study 2, 51 workers filled in a
questionnaire for ten consecutive working days (N 5 51 3 10 5 510).
Findings – In study 1, the results demonstrated that work engagement fully mediated the effects of daily uplifts
on well-being and partially mediated the effects of daily hassles on well-being. The results of study 2 revealed a
full mediation for both kinds of daily micro-events. Hence, daily uplifts stimulated work engagement, which,
in turn, enhanced well-being, and daily hassles minimized work engagement and, consequently, well-being.
Originality/value – The relationships explored provide new theoretical elements for models that explain
well-being.
