This study examined benefits of the organizational formal training from a new perspective. Under the
assumption that the training could provide a chance to acquire useful resources and recovery experiences
in coping with stressors, we suggested that the training can affect to employees’s daily burnout level.
Specifically, we examined effects of the perceived daily training usefulness and daily psychological
detachment from work on employees’s daily burnout. From the resource based stress theory perspective,
we proposed that perceived training usefulness and psychological detachment are related negatively with
burnout, and the relation between psychological detachment and burnout will be stronger for employees
who had a high degree of workload than those who had a low degree of workload. We tested our
hypotheses over a period of 4 working days with a sample of 39 employees via diary research method.
Multilevel analysis showed that all hypotheses were supported. Finally we suggested the implications of
the current findings and future research directions.
