Abstract
The authors used experience-sampling methodology via Qualtrics to examine if emotional clarity reduced the detrimental effect of workload on stress and anxiety. United States employees (n = 107) completed measures of workload, stress, anxiety, and emotional clarity during their lunch break on 5 consecutive workdays. Demographics and potential confounding variables of age, race, gender, income, education, employer, job name, and personality type were measured as well. Results showed that workload was associated with increased stress and anxiety, and that, in particular cross-level variations of the models, emotional clarity significantly interacted with workload to reduce the stress and anxiety it causes. The authors discuss potential for future research, along with the limitations and implications of the results.
