Abstract

b Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Rio Grande do Sul, BrasilO presente estudo objetivou identificar a prevalência e os preditores da adição ao trabalho em uma amostra de 392 gestores Brasileiros. Como instrumentos de pesquisa, foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e laboral, a Dutch Work a Addiction Scale, a Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida e a Escala de Foco Regulatório. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de regressão linear múltipla para as duas dimensões da adição ao trabalho, trabalho excessivo e trabalho compulsivo. A dimensão de trabalho excessivo revelou um modelo preditor composto pelas variáveis de satisfação com a vida, dedicação, absorção, horas diárias de utilização de tecnologias e tipo de vínculo, enquanto a dimensão do trabalho compulsivo foi explicada pelas variáveis absorção, satisfação com a vida, quantidade de horas trabalhadas no final de semana, motivação/foco na prevenção e idade. Os resultados revelaram um modelo preditor composto por variáveis individuais e características do cargo/trabalho/instituição, sugerindo se tratar de um fenômeno psicossocial. O modelo identificado pode subsidiar novos estudos e intervenções voltadas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida no trabalho, promovendo a saúde e bem-estar entre gestores. Palavras-chave: adição ao trabalho, gestores, saúde ocupacional.This study aimed to identify the prevalence and predictors of workaholism in a sample of 392 Brazilian managers. We used a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, the Dutch Work Addiction Scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Regulatory Focus Scale. Data analysis was performed by multiple linear regression for the two dimensions of work addiction, excessive and compulsive working. The dimension of excessive working revealed a predictive model which consists of the following variables satisfaction with life, dedication, absorption, daily hours of technology use and type of bond, whereas the dimension of compulsive working was explained by other variables such as absorption, satisfaction with life, number of working hours over the weekend, motivation / focus on prevention and age. The results revealed a predictive model consisting of both individual and function / job / institution variables, which suggests that work addiction is a psychosocial phenomenon. The identified model can support new studies and interventions aimed at improving the quality of life at work, promoting health and well-being among managers.

Association between workaholism and quality of life in stricto sensu graduate professors in nursing

“…People addicted to work performs activities far beyond the proposals, not doing them because they are asked, but because they believe they are necessary and ends up getting in the way of their daily routines due to the high expectations on themselves, showing a lack of control over the hours dedicated to work and about the work itself (5) , which can harm their quality of life.…”

Workaholism among stricto sensu graduate nursing professors in Brazil

“…Studies have reported workaholism as one of the causes of workers' mental and physical illness (1)(2)(3) . It is estimated that 10% of North Americans are workaholic (4) , this condition being more prevalent among workers who perform activities at the managerial level and specific sectors, such as health professionals and teachers (5) .…”

“…Despite the above, few studies have identified the prevalence and factors associated with workaholism among individuals inserted in the work process of the different fields of activity in the public or private sector (1)(2)(3) , especially among nursing professors from PPGEnf. Studies that fill this gap are essential to support management actions and public policies about the risks to workers' health since workaholism is a pathological condition that implies a decrease in professional performance, presenteeism (12) , techno-stress (7) , burnout (13) , deterioration of interpersonal relationships, mainly social and family relationships (2) , increased cardiovascular risk (14) and karoshi, the sudden death from overwork (15) .…”

Polish Psychological Bulletin

“…In another study with a Brazilian sample of 392 managers, the results showed that workaholism predicted satisfaction with life and that workaholism was a psychological phenomenon that affected the health and well -being of managers and bosses (Pinheiro & Carlotto, 2018). Liang and Chu (2009) studied the personality traits that cause workaholism in a sample of Chinese employees.…”
