This study extends research on the relationship between hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment and its potential for recovery experiences and aspects of well-being (e.g., Rieger, Reinecke, Frischlich, & Bente, 2014).

The main findings of this paper are that the increase in the motivation to work per employee comes at the expense of life satisfaction, and differences …
