My research focus is on how employees navigate their work and nonwork lives (e.g., leisure, family, volunteering) in the rapidly changing world of work. Facing high work demands, employees need sufficient recovery from work stress, such as through mental detachment from their work tasks during free evenings and weekends. They also actively shape their lives both at and outside work to meet their psychological needs and to obtain a sense of balance. I examine these topics using quantitative and mixed methodology, and engage in several international research projects that take different but complementary perspectives on the interplay between work and nonwork life.
