ENGLISH SUMMARY: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological detachment and psychological well-being, using flourishing as a measure of workplace well-being. With the changing world of work and aftermath of the global Coronavirus Pandemic, there is a growing need for research on factors that enhance and inhibit employee psychological well-being, to foster flourishing at work. The objective of this study was to investigate the role that certain core self-evaluation traits and other individual differences, including recovery self-efficacy, neuroticism, and affective rumination, play in the detachment – well-being relationship. A structural model was created to depict the hypothesised relationships between the latent constructs. A cross sectional, non-experimental research design was used, and a convenience sample of 206 employed individuals from the South African working population was recruited. A Partial Least Squares approach was used to analyse the structural model and interpret the hypothesised paths. The results from the analysis revealed that 4 of the 8 hypotheses in the structural model were statistically significant. More specifically, psychological detachment had a negative association with psychological well-being, which was not in line with the proposed research hypothesis. Recovery self-efficacy was shown to be a predictor of psychological detachment; however, no direct effect was observed between neuroticism and affective rumination on psychological detachment. Additionally, there was no direct relationship observed between neuroticism and psychological well-being, however, affective rumination emerged as a mediator between these two variables and was shown to share a relationship between both neuroticism and psychological well-being. The hypothesis of neuroticism as a moderator in the relationship between detachment and well-being was not supported by the data. Based on the results of the study, practical recommendations were proposed for organisations to support employees, given the changing nature of work, and promote a happy, healthy and flourishing workforce. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel met hierdie studie was ’n ondersoek na die verband tussen sielkundige losmaking en sielkundige welstand deur florering as ’n maatstaf vir werkplekwelstand te gebruik. Met die veranderende wereld van werk en in die nadraai van die wereldwye koronavirus koronavirus-pandemie bestaan daar ’n groeiende behoefte aan navorsing oor faktore wat werknemers se sielkundige welstand verbeter en inhibeer, met die doel om florering in die werkplek aan te moedig. Die oogmerk met die studie was ’n ondersoek na die rol van bepaalde kernselfevalueringseienskappe en ander individuele verskille soos die herwinning van selfdoeltreffendheid, neurotisisme, en affektiewe oorpeinsing in die losmaking losmaking-welstandwelstand-verhouding. ’n Strukturele model is geskep om die gehipoteseerde verbande tussen die latente konstrukte uit te beeld. ’n Deursnee Deursnee-, nie nie-eksperimentele navorsingsontwerp is gebruik, terwyl ’n geriefsteekproef van 206 werkende individue uit die Suid Suid-Afrikaanse werkende bev olking gewerf is. ’n Gedeeltelike kleinstekwadratebenadering is gebruik om die strukturele model te ontleed en die gehipoteseerde bane te interpreteer. Volgens die resultate van die ontleding was 4 van die 8 hipoteses in die strukturele model statisties beduidend. Meer spesifiek het sielkundige losmaking ’n negatiewe assosiasie met sielkundige welstand getoon, wat nie met die voorgestelde navorsingshipotese ooreenstem nie. Die herwinning van selfdoeltreffendh eid is as ’n voorspeller vir sielkundige losmaking uitgewys; ofskoon daar geen direkte effek op sielkundige losmaking tussen neurotisisme en affektiewe oorpeinsing waargeneem is nie. Verder is daar gee n direkte verband tussen neurotisisme en sielkundige welstand waargeneem nie, alhoewel affektiewe oorpeinsing geblyk het ’n bemiddelaar tussen hierdie twee veranderlikes te wees en skynbaar ’n verwantskap tussen neurotisisme en sielkundige welstand deel. Die hipotese dat neurotisisme ’n moderator is wat die verwantskap tussen losmaking en welstand betref, is nie deur die data ondersteun nie. Aan die hand van die studieresultate is daar praktiese aanbevelings ter ondersteuning van werknemers aan organisasies gemaak, gegewe die veranderende aard van werk en met die oog op ’n gelukkige, gesonde en florerende arbeidsmag.
