Abstract

The present study examined the relationship between individual differences in chronotypes along the morningness-eveningness continuum and work engagement. Building on the job demands-resources model we hypothesized that work fatigue mediates the relationship between eveningness and work engagement. Furthermore, we hypothesized that time management planning buffers the negative indirect effect of eveningness on work engagement via work fatigue. Our moderated-mediation model was tested in a field study of 252 employees working normal day shifts. Findings demonstrated an indirect negative relationship between eveningness and work engagement via work fatigue which was weaker at higher levels of TMP and stronger at lower levels. We discuss implications of our findings for work fatigue and work engagement of younger employees in which eveningness is most prevalent.
