Abstract(s)
This study builds on the affective events theory and the conservation of resources theory to propose a model that
analyses an affect-to-behaviour-to-outcome route, highlighting how daily micro-events and subsequent affective
reactions lead to behaviours (performance) and cognitions (satisfaction after work), and how mental health moderates this
process. Results from a 5-day diary study, during the pandemic (N =250, n=1221), provided data to test the proposed
affect-to-behaviour-to-outcome route. Poorer mental health buffered the positive within-person relationship between daily
micro-events, affective reactions, performance and satisfaction after work, suggesting that high levels of mental health
allowed individuals to maximise the benefits of positive daily micro-events in their satisfaction after work via affect
and performance. This study presents original research analysing how situational factors create a route through which
individuals experience affective reactions that influence their work behaviour, and in turn their levels of satisfaction after
work.
