Identifying personal energy and recovery patterns and their impact on well-being

The study was designed to examine patterns of personal energy expenditure and recovery, and how these patterns are associated with health and well-being. Data were collected via longitudinal, mixed method survey of a diverse sample of 121 working student and non-student adults. Measures included multiple existing tools, including: the Utrecht Work Engagement scale (UWES), Profile of Mood States (POMS), Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ), and items pulled from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (WellBQ). A variety of analyses were used including repeated measures ANOVA and one-way ANOVA. Results included the identification of “in-sync” and “out-of-sync” patterns of energy levels and quality of recovery. Moreover, there was little difference in impact on health, well-being, and other work-related outcomes between in-sync and out-of-sync individuals. Interestingly, a within subject difference in evening stress was identified within in-sync and out-of-sync individuals.
