These findings have two important implications for practice and research. First,
organizations need to take a strong stance regarding the importance of recovery as it enables
continued performance, at least at the day level. Individuals also need to take ownership over this
element of worklife by building time for replenishing activities into the workday. Second,
managers need to be cautious and intentional about the degree of job control provided to each of
their employees as it can lead to both forms of heavy work investment. Future research on heavy
work investment should continue to focus in both of these areas (recovery and job control) and
employ longitudinal methods to determine causality and their long-term consequences.
