Abstract
Aims: Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory we expected that daily micro-events, daily hassles, and uplifts at work, influenced well-being via work engagement, at the daily level. Methodology: We conducted two diary studies. In study 1, one hundred and eighty-one workers answered a daily questionnaire for four working days (N =181 × 4 = 724). In study 2, fifty-one workers filled in a questionnaire for ten consecutive working days (N = 51 ×10 = 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.
