Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: In the contemporary workplace, enduring fatigue has become a standard for employees. This investigation assesses whether such working conditions exacerbate the depletion of employees\' personal resources. The need for recovery serves as an indicator of the necessity to mitigate post-work fatigue. A high need for recovery signifies that employees must commence a new workday while already fatigued.
METHODS: This research recruited two cohorts of nurses, categorized by a high need for recovery and a low need for recovery, to examine the correlation between work effort and hair cortisol concentrations in each group.
RESULTS: Hair cortisol concentrations serve as a biological marker of cumulative cortisol secretion over a specific time frame, reflecting overall personal resource expenditure during this interval. Findings revealed a notable positive correlation between intrinsic work effort (over-commitment) and hair cortisol levels exclusively among nurses with a high need for recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: These outcomes imply that active effort amidst fatigue may lead to excessive strain. This insight enriches the classic \'effort-recovery\' model by illustrating how an employee\' s personal volition can influence the accumulation of fatigue.

摘要：
目标：在当代工作场所，持久的疲劳已经成为员工的标准。这项调查评估了这种工作条件是否会加剧员工个人资源的消耗。恢复的需要是减轻工作后疲劳的必要性的指标。对恢复的高度需求意味着员工必须在已经疲劳的情况下开始新的工作日。
方法：这项研究招募了两组护士，按回收需求高和回收需求低分类，检查各组工作努力和头发皮质醇浓度之间的相关性。
结果：头发皮质醇浓度可作为特定时间范围内累积皮质醇分泌的生物学标记，反映此间隔期间的总体个人资源支出。研究结果表明，内在工作努力（过度承诺）与头发皮质醇水平之间存在显着正相关，仅在高度需要恢复的护士中。
结论：这些结果意味着在疲劳中积极努力可能导致过度劳累。这种见解通过说明员工的个人意志如何影响疲劳的积累，丰富了经典的“努力-恢复”模型。
