[i] Note. Mean Cronbach’s Alphas over the ten workdays are displayed in bold. Intercorrelations above the diagonal refer to the within level (n = 963), below the diagonal to the between-level (N = 136). t1, t2, t3 refer to the measurement points (morning, midday, afternoon). D = Daily, SC = Self-control, TC = Taking Charge, IRB = In-role-behavior, bt = between-level, wi = within-level.

[i] Note. N = 136, n = 963. Unstandardized estimates from one overall analysis predicting Depletion Midday and Depletion End of Work. When controlling for reverse causality, the pattern of results remains. When not controlling for affect and/or in-role behavior, the pattern of results remains. When specifying both parts (i.e., on depletion at midday and depletion at the end of work) in separate models, the pattern of results remains. When controlling for day of study or weekday, results do not change. t1, t2, t3 refer to the measurement points (morning, midday, afternoon). TC = Taking Charge, SC = Self-Control, CI = confidence interval.
