Abstract

This special issue presents eight empirical papers on intra‐individual processes related to employee well‐being in organization with the most of the papers featuring a within‐person approach. The studies examine trajectories of affect, affective predictors of organizational citizenship behavior and creativity, intra‐individual changes in flow at work, and also address longer‐term changes and the role of implicit attitudes. Overall, the studies demonstrate that affective states and well‐being substantially fluctuates within persons, and that these fluctuations are meaningfully related to outcomes that matter for organizations.
