Abstract

ABSTRACT By drawing on effort-recovery theory, we conducted two studies to explore the short-term process through which workaholism may affect health and to assess the implications of such a process for job performance. In Study 1 we hypothesised that workaholic tendencies would affect daily workload and that daily workload would mediate the relationship between workaholic tendencies and daily emotional exhaustion. Data were provided by 102 workers consisting mostly of entrepreneurs, managers and self-employed individuals, who were followed for ten consecutive working days. Multilevel structural equation modelling, controlling for the general level of workload, neuroticism and conscientiousness, supported the hypotheses. Building on the results of Study 1, in Study 2 we hypothesised that workaholism would lead in the long run to a decline in job performance. Study 2 considered 519 employees of a large organisation and focused on their supervisors’ performance ratings in two successive years. Workaholism was used to predict change in work performance. Work engagement was included in the model as a concurrent predictor of work performance. Contrary to what was hypothesised, workaholism did not affect performance; only work engagement did so, and in a positive way. The implications of the obtained results for further research on workaholism are discussed.

工作狂对日常工作量和情绪衰竭以及长期工作表现的影响

摘要:我们利用努力-恢复理论，开展了两项研究，探讨工作狂可能影响健康的短期过程，并评估这种过程对工作绩效的影响。在研究1中，我们假设工作狂倾向会影响日常工作量，而日常工作量会中介工作狂倾向与日常情绪耗竭之间的关系。数据由102名工人提供，其中大部分是企业家、经理和个体经营者，他们被连续跟踪了10个工作日。多层结构方程模型，控制了工作量，神经质和责任心的一般水平，支持假设。基于研究1的结果，在研究2中，我们假设从长远来看，工作狂会导致工作表现的下降。研究2考虑了一家大型组织的519名员工，并连续两年关注他们主管的绩效评级。工作狂被用来预测工作表现的变化。工作投入被包括在模型中，作为工作绩效的并发预测因子。与假设相反，工作狂并不影响工作表现;只有工作投入能做到这一点，而且是以一种积极的方式。本研究结果对进一步的工作狂研究具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
