Predictors of weekly alcohol drinking and alcoholrelated problems in binge-drinking undergraduates
2015
Texto en inglés e español Las importantes implicaciones que genera el consumo intensivo de alcohol entre los jóvenes justifican el interés por determinar qué factores predicen su aparición. Concretamente, en este estudio se analiza el papel de la personalidad y edad de inicio en el consumo de alcohol en la predicción del consumo semanal de alcohol, y de todas estas variables en la predicción del número de consecuencias asociadas al consumo en jóvenes universitarios. Se evalúan 213 consumidores intensivos de primer curso de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Todos ellos cumplimentaron un autoregistro de consumo, el BIS-11, el NEO-FFI y el IECI de consecuencias asociadas a la ingesta. Los …
Academic Workload, Workaholism e benessere individuale: uno studio esplorativo su effetti e conseguenze del sovraccarico lavorativo in accademia
2016
La cosiddetta "dipendenza da lavoro" sembra essere uno stato sempre più diffuso all'interno delle professioni ad alta responsabilità: sebbene essa sia in qualche modo giustificata, in quanto approvata socialmente e culturalmente, non va dimenticato che essa è pur sempre una situazione in grado, a lungo termine, di produrre stati di malessere diffusi nelle persone che ne sono coinvolte. Tale condizione di continuo e persistente stato di impegno professionale è tipico di coloro i quali lavorano presso strutture accademiche: esiste un interessante filone di ricerca che ha esplorato il persistente aumento di richieste lavorative che affligge il mondo accademico occidentale, e che sovrappone ad …
Investing in and recovering from work: effects on employees’ health through workaholism and work engagement
2019
Purpose: Workaholism and work engagement are two forms of heavy work investment, involving different consequences on employees’ life. Nevertheless, research has highlighted an overlapping zone between workaholism and work engagement, due to confounding findings about their relation and features they seem to have in common. Recovery––the process that allows employees to replenish individual resources after an effort––could be a critical construct in order to distinguish workaholic and engaged workers. This study aims therefore to consider the capacity to recover as influencing variable on workaholism and work engagement, respectively, and, further, it aims to observe what they, in turn, enta…
Can Psychological Detachment, Emotions, and Health Make the Difference between Workaholism and Work Engagement?
2018
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…

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…

Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää eri taustamuuttujien, kuten kilpa- ja kuntourheiluaktiv…
