The role of organizational trust and organizational support on employees’ well-being
Introduzione: In letteratura l’impatto della fiducia organizzativa e del supporto organizzativo percepito sul be- nessere dei lavoratori è stato prevalentemente riconosciuto senza una chiara distinzione focalizzata sui diversi livelli su cui tali variabili possono avere un effetto. Obiettivi: L’obiettivo dello studio è quindi quello di verificare un più diretto ruolo di queste variabili come precursori del benessere, della soddisfazione lavorativa e dell’intenzione di tur- nover. Per questo si sono tenuti distinti, concettualmente ed empiricamente, due livelli di indagine sia per la fiducia che per il supporto: la dimensione del gruppo di lavoro, cioè il contesto nei confronti del quale il …
To detach or not to detach? The role of psychological detachment on the relationship between heavy work investment and well-being: A latent profile analysis
AbstractThis study focuses on two types of heavy work investment, namely workaholism and work engagement, and on psychological detachment from work. Both workaholism and work engagement refer to an intense work effort, yet with a different impact on work and personal life. Building on Stressor–Detachment Model (SDM), we examine how different levels of workaholism, work engagement, and psychological detachment influence different outcomes related to employees’ well-being (i.e., perceived health, negative affectivity, positive affectivity). Data were collected from 342 employees via online survey and analyzed by mean of latent profile analysis. Five employee profiles were identified: High-Det…
Workaholism and Work Engagement: How Are They Similar? How Are They Different? A Meta-Analysis of Their Relation
Workaholism and work engagement can be depicted, respectively, as the pathological and the healthy form of heavy work investment. The former has been described as an addiction to work, yielded by the combination of excessive working hours and compulsive working style, whilst the latter has recently been introduced in workplace health literature as a pleasant mental state consisting of vigor, dedication, and absorption. In spite of their different definitions and outcomes on individual and organizational life, workaholism and work engagement are not clearly and adequately distinguished by scholars and researchers, since these two constructs seem to show some overlapping features. The aim of …
Differential effects of workaholism and work engagement on the interference between life and work domains
This study analyzed the differences between workaholism and work engagement in relation to their influence on work–life interference. Workaholism is an addiction to work, characterized by obsessive attitude towards job, whereas work engagement concerns a positive pattern of thoughts and feelings about one’s job; these two constructs thus represent pathological and healthy forms of heavy work investment, respectively. As a consequence, it was expected that workaholism and work engagement would have different effects on perceived interference between work and life domains. We assessed levels of workaholism, work engagement, work-to-life interference, and life-to-work interference in a sample …
Can Psychological Detachment, Emotions, and Health Make the Difference between Workaholism and Work Engagement?
Overlapping aspects between work addiction and work engagement make difficult distinguish the pathological forms of heavy work investment. Since workaholism and work engagement are responsible of different consequences on individual well-being, a source of distinction is searched among their relationships with affect, perceived health, and psychological detachment from work. Data were collected from 265 employees, through the administration of an online questionnaire containing scales of workaholism, work engagement, psychological detachment from work, positive and negative affect, and general health. Correlational analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted in order to study t…
Workaholism and work engagement: how are they similar? How are they different? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Workaholism and work engagement can be depicted, respectively, as the pathological and the healthy form of heavy work investment. In spite of their different definitions and outcomes on individual and organizational life, workaholism and work engagement are not clearly and adequately distinguished by scholars and researchers as they appear to show some overlapping features. The aim of this investigation was to meta-analyze available studies, selected by systematic review, on the relations between subdimensions of workaholism and work engagement. Thirty-five studies were eligible for analysis. Associations emerged between Working Excessively and Absorption (g = .34), Working Compulsively and…
