Note.Diagonals (bold) show intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC = between-person level variance/total variance) of the variable. Correlations for IT employees were based on Ndays = 862 for affect and non-work events and Ndays = 505 for work events. Correlations for extended care employees were based on Ndays = 1060 for affect and non-work events and Ndays = 410 for work events. Affect was rated on a 1 (none of the time) to 5 (all of the time) scale. Positive events and stressors were coded as yes (1) or no (0). Sleep quality was rated 1 (very badly) to 4 (very well). Sleep duration was reported in hours.
