ABSTRACT
This chapter examines job stressors, job involvement, and recovery-related self-efficacy as predictors of psychological detachment in a sample of 148 school teachers. One might argue that psychological detachment from work may not only be predicted by job stressors, job involvement, or recovery-related self-efficacy but by other individual difference variables, too. Therefore, when examining the relationship between job stressors, job involvement, and recovery-related self-efficacy on the one hand, and psychological detachment on the other hand, author will control for action-state orientation. One might assume that recovery-related self-efficacy and low job involvement are not only directly related to psychological detachment from work during off-job time. Recovery-related self-efficacy and job involvement may also moderate the relationship between job stressors and psychological detachment.
