Intra-individual processes linking work and employee well-being: introduction into the special issue

This special issue presents eight empirical papers on intra-individual processes related to employee well-being in organization with the most of the papers featuring a within-person approach. The studies examine trajectories of affect, affective predictors of organizational citizenship behavior and creativity, intra-individual changes in flow at work, and also address longer-term changes and the role of implicit attitudes. Overall, the studies demonstrate that affective states and well-being substantially fluctuates within persons, and that these fluctuations are meaningfully related to outcomes that matter for organizations.
