Abstract

PurposeEarlier authors suggested that a combination of different factors leads to the development of work addiction, hereby indicating that no single perspective is enough to fully understand this phenomenon. Hence, the aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of perceived work addiction of managers in the relationship between employees' perfectionism and work addiction.Design/methodology/approachThe present cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 964 workers from different organizations in Lithuania. Data were collected by means of online self-administered questionnaires. To test the moderating effect, a covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) path analysis was performed.FindingsAt the level of bivariate correlations, both self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism showed positive links with employees' work addiction. However, in structural equation models only self-oriented perfectionism was related to higher levels of work addiction. Further, although the results of the study did not confirm the assumption about the moderating effect of perceived work addiction of managers on the relationship between employees' self-oriented perfectionism and work addiction, the results showed that a positive relationship between employees' socially prescribed perfectionism and work addiction was strongest when a manager was perceived to be highly addicted to work.Originality/valueThe study enriched understanding of the roots of work addiction by employing trait activation theory (Tett and Burnett, 2003) and explaining how both dispositional and contextual factors interacted in predicting this phenomenon.

管理者工作成瘾感在员工完美主义与工作成瘾关系中的调节作用：特质激活理论视角

目的早期作者认为，不同因素的结合导致了工作成瘾的发展，这表明没有一个单一的观点足以完全理解这一现象。因此，本研究的目的是考察管理者感知工作成瘾在员工完美主义与工作成瘾关系中的调节作用。设计/方法/方法本横断面研究是在立陶宛不同组织的964名工人的方便样本上进行的。数据通过在线自填问卷的方式收集。为了检验调节效应，进行了基于协方差的结构方程模型(CB-SEM)通径分析。研究发现，在双变量相关水平上，自我导向型完美主义和社会规定型完美主义都与员工的工作成瘾呈正相关。然而，在结构方程模型中，只有自我导向的完美主义与更高水平的工作成瘾有关。此外，虽然研究结果并未证实管理者工作成瘾感知对员工自我导向型完美主义与工作成瘾关系的调节作用，但研究结果表明，当管理者被认为高度工作成瘾时，员工社会规定型完美主义与工作成瘾之间的正向关系最强。本研究运用特质激活理论(Tett和Burnett, 2003)，并解释了性格因素和环境因素如何相互作用来预测这种现象，从而丰富了对工作成瘾根源的理解。
