Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of research on the subject of recovery from work, focusing on its predictors and effects on employee well-being. The concept of recovery is defined, and the psychological approach to the recovery process proposed by Sonnentag and Fritz is presented. Factors influencing employee recovery processes are described, including individual factors and work environment characteristics, such as job demands and resources. The effects of recovery on employee well-being are also discussed, including aspects such as mood, vigour, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and sleep quality. Practical implications are presented, and directions for future research are formulated.
