dismissal) and the organization (drop in productivity) ( Nguyen et al., 2013). Procrastination is a trait that leads to daily procrastinating behaviors and affects between 15 and 20% of working adults ( Harriott and Ferrari, 1996) at work, it is characterized by being a self-regulatory failure of tasks and is associated with high costs for the individual (e.g. Procrastination – the act of delaying tasks – appears to be particularly important in teleworking as it may hinder or facilitate workers' well-being, satisfaction and performance (e.g. Thus, this study aimed to fill this gap and relied on the AET to argue that teleworking provides opportunities for the occurrence of DME that will influence workers' well-being.įurthermore, the AET argues that the relationship between DME and their consequences depends on the personality traits, such as procrastination. Chacko and Conway, 2019 Kim et al., 2018 Klaiber et al., 2021), there is limited evidence of teleworking settings.
Despite the already demonstrated importance of DME, in traditional working settings, for workers' well-being (e.g. Ohly and Schmitt, 2015) and proposes that the workplace is an affective context ( Ashkanasy and Humphrey, 2011) in which DME occur, triggering affective reactions that influence attitudes (e.g. The AET ( Weiss and Cropanzano, 1996) has explored the importance of DME for work-related attitudes (e.g. Further, while teleworking, employees experience several daily micro-events (DME), such as losing the Internet connection while meeting with co-workers or customers, or petting their dog while working (e.g. Indeed, telework has been associated with benefits such as work flexibility or improved autonomy which in turn appears to deliver positive outcomes for well-being (e.g. Deev and Plíhal, 2022) thereby, well-being became an important resource for workers dealing with their new daily reality.
This pandemic context has triggered uncertainty among people in general (e.g. To prevent the spread of the virus, many countries implemented prevention and control strategies (e.g. closing schools, universities and restaurants) ( Dhama et al., 2020), while organizations had to adapt to the new reality and rules imposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) – such as telework to promote physical distancing ( O'Brien and Aliabadi, 2020). On March 11, 2020, a pandemic situation was declared ( Dhama et al., 2020). The full terms of this licence may be seen at
