Leisure crafting challenges people without overburdening them and creates growth, need satisfaction, and self-confidence that raise energy and positivity, which transfer into the work domain.
“Specifically, LC challenges individuals without overtaxing them and, therefore, generates experiences of growth, need satisfaction, and self-confidence that increase feelings of energy and positivity that spill over into the work domain (cf.Edwards and Rothbard, 2000;Fritz et al., 2010;Mojza et al., 2011).”
From Work hard or play hard: the effect of leisure crafting on opportunity recognition and venture performance (2023) · cites this paper as Edwards and Rothbard, 2000
Resources are the main factors underlying positive spillover between nonwork and work domains; resources created and obtained in nonwork domains can improve functioning in the work domain, and the reverse also holds.
“That is, the primary factors at the root of positive spillover are resources (e.g., knowledge, skills, affective states) in the originating domain, as the resources generated and acquired in nonwork domains can enhance individuals' functioning in the work domain, and vice versa (Carlson et al., 2006;Edwards and Rothbard, 2000;Greenhaus and Brummelhuis, 2013: 18;Ren et al., 2022).”

Resources obtained in the nonwork domain, such as skills, knowledge, and social capital, can be directly moved to the other domain and can improve positive states and performance at work.
“Spillover research posits that resources acquired in the nonwork domain (e.g., skills, knowledge, social capital) can be directly exported to the other domain, ultimately enhancing one's positive states and performance at work (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000: 186;Greenhaus and Brummelhuis, 2013;Hanson et al., 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
