Abstract

Background and objectives: Work addiction (WA), characterized by dimensions such as overcommitment, difficulties in detachment from work, and work-life imbalance, is presumed to be associated with increased smartphone usage, even during risky activities like driving. The study investigated the connection between WA and future problematic and hazardous smartphone use, considering personality factors: anxiety, rumination, and worry.

Methods: A three-wave longitudinal study (N = 1,866) was conducted from March to July 2019, June to September 2020, and June to November 2021, involving a representative sample of 18-34-year-old residents in Hungary's capital. The study employed Hungarian versions of the Bergen Work Addiction Scale, Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaire, Ruminative Response Scale, Anxiety subscale of the Brief Symptom Inventory 18, and Penn-State Worry Questionnaire. Additionally, author-developed questions on mobile phone use while driving were included.

Results: At baseline, those at risk for WA showed more frequent mobile phone use while driving at both time points 2 and 3 compared to the non-risk group. Path analyses revealed rumination, anxiety at time 1, and worry at time 2 as significant mediators between baseline WA and mobile phone use while driving at time 3. However, when analyzing all three mediators together, only anxiety at time 1 and worry at time 2 remained significant.

Discussion and conclusion: This study demonstrates that WA predicts future mobile phone use while driving through mediation by anxiety and worry. Our findings add to the growing evidence highlighting the detrimental aspects of WA, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies.

驾驶与手机使用:在一项针对年轻成年人的纵向研究中,工作成瘾可预测危险使用手机的情况,但不能预测过度使用手机的情况。
背景和目的:工作成瘾(WA)的特点是过度投入工作、难以从工作中抽身以及工作与生活失衡,据推测,工作成瘾与智能手机使用量的增加有关,甚至在驾驶等危险活动中也是如此。本研究考虑了焦虑、反刍和担忧等人格因素,调查了WA与未来问题性和危险性智能手机使用之间的联系:在2019年3月至7月、2020年6月至9月以及2021年6月至11月期间进行了三波纵向研究(N = 1,866),涉及匈牙利首都18至34岁的代表性居民样本。研究采用了匈牙利语版本的卑尔根工作成瘾量表、问题性手机使用问卷、反刍反应量表、简明症状量表 18 的焦虑分量表和宾州忧虑问卷。此外,还包括作者开发的关于开车时使用手机的问题:结果:基线时,与非风险组相比,WA高危人群在第2和第3时间点开车时使用手机的频率更高。路径分析显示,反刍、时间点 1 的焦虑和时间点 2 的担忧是基线 WA 与时间点 3 驾驶时使用手机之间的重要中介。然而,当对所有三个中介因素进行综合分析时,只有第一时间的焦虑和第二时间的担忧仍具有显著性:本研究表明,通过焦虑和担忧的中介作用,WA 可以预测未来开车时使用手机的情况。我们的研究结果补充了越来越多的证据,凸显了WA的有害方面,强调了改进预防和治疗策略的必要性。
