Time Tetris: a longitudinal study on compressed schedules and workplace well-being at IKEA
K. D. Bois, S. Baert, et al.
Research conducted by Kristen du Bois, Stijn Baert, Louis Lippens, and Eva Derous finds that compressed work schedules increased employees’ psychological detachment from work but did not reduce work-related exhaustion or burnout risk. Using four-wave data from IKEA Belgium and mixed-effects and two-way fixed-effects models, the study also suggests detachment gains may fade in summer, urging caution before claiming compressed schedules curb burnout.
