Abstract:To clarify the effects of work connectivity behavior after-hours (WCBA) on employees’ work affect and work behaviors, this study conducts a three-level meta-analysis of 177 effect sizes from 87 empirical studies based on the cognitive appraisal theory of stress. The results show that WCBA has a double-edged sword effect on employees' work affect and work behaviors. Specifically, WCBA can not only make employees have positive work affect/behaviors, but also negative work affect/behaviors. Secondly, the positive effects of WCBA are stronger than the negative effects. Thirdly, the moderating effect of cultural differences is consistent with the hypothesis but does not reach the level of significance. Lastly, gender does not significantly moderate the main effect. This study provides recommendations for managing practice. Some potential limitations and future directions are also discussed.
