Abstract

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: This research identified profiles characterized by distinct levels of overcommitment, rumination, psychological detachment (Studies 1 and 2), and need for recovery (Study 2). This research also considers the role of hindrance demands and resources in the prediction of profile membership, and the outcomes of these profiles. Methods: These objectives were addressed in two empirical cross-sectional studies relying on self-reported questionnaires. Study 1 relies on a convenience sample of French workers from a variety of occupations. Study 2 relies on a convenience sample of French nurses and nursing assistants. Results: Latent profile analyses revealed four identical profiles in both studies ( High Ability to Achieve Recovery, Moderately High Ability to Achieve Recovery, Moderately Low Ability to Achieve Recovery, and Low Ability to Achieve Recovery ), accompanied by an additional ( Normative ) profile in Study 2. The results from both studies revealed well-differentiated outcome associations, which generally matched the theoretical desirability of the identified profiles. Likewise, hindrance demands were associated with a decreased likelihood of membership into the High Ability to Achieve Recovery profile, as well as an increased likelihood of membership into the Low Ability to Achieve Recovery profile across studies. Conclusions: Theoretical contributions and implications for practice are discussed.
