Association between Work‑Related Rumination, Work Environment and Employee Well‑Being: A Meta‑Analytic Study of Main and Moderator Effects Blanco Encomienda, Francisco Javier García-Cantero, Rocío Latorre Medina, María José Well-being Work environment Rumination Meta-analysis Rumination has been proposed to play a significant role as a potential mechanism impairing the recovery process after work. This study examined two main effects: the association between a negative work environment and work-related rumination, and the association between work-related rumination and lack of employee well-being. Moreover, moderator effects of age, seniority and gender were examined. For this purpose, a meta-analysis was conducted. The results of a primary analysis indicated a significant association between rumination and both negative work events and lack of well-being. Meta-regression analysis revealed that the main effects are not moderated by the variables considered. Our findings emphasize the importance of reducing ruminative thinking at both individual and organizational levels. 2025-01-20T08:19:03Z 2025-01-20T08:19:03Z 2020 journal article Blanco-Encomienda, F.
