Project description
Managing today’s work environments
Every specific work environment must deal constantly with many challenges created by the appearance of positive or negative emotions. They influence attitudes and employees’ behaviour in the workplace, affecting also well-being and individual and collective performance. As any new qualities in a work context can be very challenging for management, today’s decision-makers urgently need modern, scientific-based, practical guidance to successfully face related problems. The EU-funded EVENTS project aims to complete research that will help explain an interplay of variables in the workplace. It will study the relationship between changes in the work environment, its characteristics, everyday work-related events, management practices, and other factors to improve the performance and health of workers.
Objective
Affective experiences resulting from specific work-events are present everywhere in daily work. Its importance has been
highlighted for both managers and researchers. However, research into the understanding of how contextual factors, such
as job characteristics or management practices, influence work-related daily events, which in turn, affect individual
performance and well-being has been narrow, incomplete, and problematic. This project aims to explore the relationships
between new characteristics of the work context, daily events at work, performance management practices and other
outcomes in a longitudinal approach. Accordingly, this project focuses on: (a) the work characteristics associated to workrelated daily events, over time; (b) the relationship between daily events and performance and health, over time; d) the
influence of high performance management practices on those relationships. By addressing the relationship between
contextual factors with work-related daily events at work over time, this project makes important contributions to theory
development within the field. The findings may help managers to understand how daily events influences employees’
performance and well-being. Moreover, it will help to produce practical instruments and to develop strategies to deal with
daily events that may improve productivity and quality of life at work.
