Personal Energy at Work: A Systematic Review

A. F. J. Klijn, M. Tims, et al.

This two-fold systematic review defines personal energy at work and presents a theoretical framework specifying its dimensions, antecedents, and boundary conditions, showing how employer context, personal characteristics, and strain–recovery processes explain why some employees feel energized and others do not. Research conducted by Alexandra Francina Janneke Klijn, Maria Tims, Evgenia I. Lysova, and Svetlana N. Khapova.... show more
Abstract
There has been a significant increase in studies on personal energy at work. Yet, research efforts are fragmented, given that scholars employ a diversity of related concepts. To bring clarity, we executed a two-fold systematic literature review. We crafted a definition of personal energy at work and a theoretical framework, outlining the dimensions, antecedents and boundary conditions. The theoretical implication of the framework is that it allows one to explain why—given similar work—some employees feel energized whereas others do not. The difference depends on the context that the employer offers, the personal characteristics of employees and the processes of strain and recovery. The paper concludes with a discussion of how future research can build on the proposed framework to advance the theoretical depth and empirical investigation of personal energy at work.
