TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - More work, better health? The moderation effect of employee-organizational psychological distance JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Liu, Bei A1 - Chen, Hong A1 - Wang, Yujie SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Based on the data obtained from 1014 Chinese employees, this study clarified the relationship between work hours, psychological distance, and the occupational mental health of employees. This study revealed a curvilinear and almost inverted U-shaped relationship between work hours and occupational mental health. Furthermore, the results showed that the optimum interval of work hours to maintain high-quality occupational mental health was indicated as "typical overtime work," and the employee-organizational psychological distance may positively moderate this inverted U-shaped relationship, and a "close" employee-organizational psychological distance may alleviate the pressure of work hours and help to maintain high-quality occupational mental health.
