Abstract / Description

This dataset accompanies a study that examines the effects of being offered unwanted help in the workplace on the recovery process of employees after work. Drawing on psychological needs theory and rumination theory, the research explores how unwanted help frustrates employees' needs for autonomy and competence, leading to increased rumination and reduced psychological detachment from work. Data were collected via a cross-sectional survey (Study 1, N = 279) and a time-lagged survey (Study 2, N = 165), demonstrating the significant role of autonomy frustration in these outcomes.
