But why does going that extra mile cost us so much mentally?🤔 Here’s the big question for all the listeners, researchers, and knowledge-hungry minds out there: Can organizations strike the perfect balance between encouraging proactivity and preserving cognitive vitality?A huge thank you to the authors Mouna El Mansouri, Karoline Strauss, Doris Fay, and Julia Smith for their insightful work. 🙏 And hats off to the Journal of Applied Psychology — a prestigious FT50 journal that continuously pushes the boundaries of academic excellence. 🎓🔥If you love unraveling the science behind complex ideas, don’t forget to subscribe to “Revise and Resubmit” on Spotify and catch the visuals on the “Weekend Researcher” YouTube channel.
