Recovery Experience Questionnaire

The Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ) is an assessment tool measuring the quality and dimensions of off-work recovery from occupational stress. Developed by Sonnentag and Fritz in 2007, the REQ evaluates four key recovery experiences: psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery, and control. The instrument is grounded in conservation of resources theory and provides insights into how employees restore wellbeing during non-work time, which is crucial for preventing burnout and maintaining work engagement.
