Burnout, work engagement and workaholism among highly educated employees: Profiles, antecedents and outcomes
2014
The present study examined the longitudinal profiles of burnout, engagement and workaholism among highly educated employees.

Further, workaholism decreased during the career among members of the Exhausted-Workaholic profile suggesting positive direction during caree…
