Job stressors such as time pressure, organizational constraints, and interpersonal conflicts matter for individual well-being within organizations, both at the day level and over longer periods of time. Recovery-enhancing processes such as psychological detachment from work during nonwork time, physical exercise, and sleep have the potential to protect well-being. Although the experience of job stressors calls for effective recovery processes, empirical research shows that recovery processes actually are impaired when job stressors are high (recovery paradox). This article presents explanations for the recovery paradox, discusses moderating factors, and suggests avenues for future research.

时间压力，组织约束和人际冲突等工作压力对组织内部的个人福祉至关重要，无论是白天还是更长时期。增强恢复能力的过程（例如在非工作时间下班时的心理分离，体育锻炼和睡眠）可能会保护人们的健康。尽管工作压力源的经验要求采取有效的恢复流程，但经验研究表明，当工作压力较高时，恢复流程实际上会受到损害（恢复悖论）。本文介绍了恢复悖论的解释，讨论了缓和因素，并提出了未来研究的途径。
