“…Therefore, any policy solution would have to include their specific circumstances. Secondly, individual psychological factors such as personality and values are well-recognized determinants of work behaviors [25], and they have been associated with OCPD/APD [50] and work addiction [19]. The most notable association appears to be with rigid perfectionism, which is gaining more attention as a transdiagnostic process in the literature concerning psychopathology [51].…”

Occupational stress and high workload are being increasingly recognized as significant contributors to the diseases and disorders constituting major components of the global burden of disease. A more detailed definition of burn-out was recently included by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) which reflects a growing acknowledgment of the role of professional work in mental health. One of the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder/anankastic personality disorder (OCPD/APD) is an undue preoccupation with productivity to the exclusion of pleasure and interpersonal relationships. This compulsive overworking is closely related to the concept of work addiction, and OCPD/APD was suggested to be its major risk factor. OCPD/APD is the most prevalent personality disorder and one that appears to produce the highest direct and indirect medical costs. At the same time, it is vastly understudied. In recent years, it has been repeatedly emphasized that it requires consistent conceptualization and clarification of its overlapping with similar conditions. Even though the limited existing studies suggest its strong relationship with burn-out and depression among employed individuals, there has been no systematic effort to investigate its role in the consequences of occupational stress and high workload. This paper identifies several substantial gaps in the current understanding of the relationships between work addiction, OCPD/APD, burn-out, and the global burden of disease within the context of the WHO’s plan of developing evidence-based guidelines on mental wellbeing in the workplace.

“…While the list includes conscientiousness, the role of this broad personality trait should be reconsidered and defined more precisely. Measures of conscientiousness often yield contradictory or paradoxical findings, because they include elements of performance (e.g., succeeding in being orderly and punctual) that are subject to evaluative distortions (e.g., perfectionism) and may not track motivation very closely (e.g., Mike et al, 2018;Mõttus et al, 2018). By way of illustration, Figure S3.1 shows my recent proposal for an extended model of life history-related traits in humans, based on the idea of multiple profiles.…”

Rethinking the fast-slow continuum of individual differences

The idea that individual differences in behavior and physiology can be partly understood by linking them to a fast-slow continuum of life history strategies has become popular in the evolutionary behavioral sciences. I refer to this approach as the "fast-slow paradigm" of individual differences. The paradigm has generated a substantial amount of research, but has also come increasingly under scrutiny for theoretical, empirical, and methodological reasons. I start by reviewing the basic empirical facts about the fast-slow continuum across species and the main theoretical accounts of its existence. I then discuss the move from the level of species and populations to that of individuals, and the theoretical and empirical complications that follow. I argue that the fast-slow continuum can be a productive heuristic for individual differences; however, the field needs to update its theoretical assumptions, rethink some methodological practices, and explore new approaches and ideas in light of the specific features of the human ecology.

“…Finally, perfectionism also differs from obsessive‐compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), a condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with detail, order, organization, rigidity, stubbornness, and a reluctance to delegate (American Psychiatric Association, ). Perfectionism was found to be a symptom of OCPD (Mike, King, Oltmanns, & Jackson, ), and scholars further suggest that addressing perfectionism is a necessary condition for the treatment of OCPD (Pinto, Liebowitz, Foa, & Simpson, ).…”

The relentless pursuit of perfectionism: A review of perfectionism in the workplace and an agenda for future research

Summary The pursuit of perfectionism resonates with many individuals across workplaces resulting in a recent flurry of research on the topic. Although extant research has examined the costs and benefits of perfectionism at work, these efforts are scattered across multiple disciplines and utilize varying conceptualizations. As a result, we lack a coherent understanding of how perfectionism influences work behavior. To address this issue, we integrate the nascent but fragmented perfectionism at work literature, including both empirical findings and theoretical perspectives. We introduce and discuss a future research agenda that addresses not only the need to broaden understanding of perfectionism's antecedents, processes, and boundary conditions but also its multilevel applications and methodological limitations. Our review will enable organizational scholars to develop a deeper understanding of how perfectionism renders its influence in the workplace.

Obsessive, compulsive, and conscientious? The relationship between OCPD and personality traits

Abstract: Findings suggest that OCPD's relationship with personality can be more precisely explained through its relationships with specific tendencies rather than general, higher-order traits.
