Yet, research on job stress and satisfaction demonstrates that prolonged exposure to chronicstressors and unsuccessful coping do impact the wellbeing of employees (e.g., Hakanen et al. 2006; Montgomery and Rupp 2005; Van den Broeck et al. 2008).
Negative changes in wellbeing are caused by repeated daily experiences of discrete unpleasant emotions in response to chronicstressors, whereas prolonged experiences of pleasant emotions promote wellbeing.
