“…The result are in line with the report from [7]- [14], [21]- [24], [28]- [30] that 1) social support and work resilience have direct effect on work passion, and 2) social support has indirect effect on work passion through work resilience. In contrast, the job characteristic variable has no significant effect on work passion of Thai Teachers in Municipal Schools.…”

Data was collected by the questionnaires. The analytical statistics were mean, standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, and path analysis. It was found that the structure equation model of work passion was fitted Index Terms-Job characteristic, social support, resilience, passion.

“…Building on the conceptualization that obsessive passion is an inclination that originates from a controlled/pressured internalization (individuals rely heavily on the activity in question for own self-definition [Mageau, Vallerand, Charest, Salvy, Lacaille, Bouffard, & Koestner, 2009]), prior research has suggested that it becomes important to carefully design the valuation system: positive feedback should be unexpected rather than expected . By not anticipating positive feedback, the person can more easily separate his or her own identity and self-worth from activity achievements.…”

Individuals' search for various opportunities within the context of their job (role opportunity search) is an important yet demanding characteristic of today's work environments. This study tests the effects of harmonious passion and obsessive passion on role tensions (i.e., role conflict and role overload), which is posited to influence the search for new role opportunities. The results of structural equation modeling (GFI = .92; IFI = .90; RMSEA = .07) on survey data from Swedish owner-managers (n = 704) supported that harmonious passion has a negative relationship with role conflict (β = −.14), which in turn has a negative relationship with role opportunity search (β = −.21). This results in a positive, indirect relationship between harmonious passion and role opportunity search. In contrast, the positive relationship between obsessive passion and role conflict (β =.44), results in a negative indirect relationship with role opportunity search. The relationships applied for passion were also applied to role overload (harmonious passion: β = −.26; obsessive passion: β = .41, p < .001), but no significant influence was found from role overload to role opportunity search. This study provides insight into the importance of considering role tension in passion models, especially when explaining role opportunity search. As demonstrated, whether role opportunity search will be facilitated or hindered by passion originates based on whether the passion is harmonious or obsessive.

“…À contrario, la passion obsessive exerce une pression, est contrôlante et laisse peu de place aux autres activités de la personne qui perd le contrôle de ses comportements, mais désire toujours nourrir sa passion (Vallerand, 2015). Depuis les années 1990, plus d'une centaine d'études auprès de populations d'âges et de continents variés ont porté sur la passion (Marsh et al, 2013) pour des activités variées telles que la musique (Mageau et al, 2009), l'enseignement (Carbonneau, Vallerand, Fernet et Guay, 2008), le sport (Vallerand, Losier et Pelletier, 2006) ou encore les jeux de hasard et d'argent (JHA) (Rousseau, Vallerand, Ratelle, Mageau et Provencher, 2002).…”

La passion est étudiée depuis une quinzaine d’années chez les joueurs de jeu de hasard et d’argent. Elle comprend deux formes, soit la passion obsessive (PO) qui est contrôlante et la passion harmonieuse (PH) qui laisse de la place à d’autres activités du joueur. Les études transversales associent la PO aux problèmes de jeu, ce qui n’est pas le cas de la PH. Toutefois, la pertinence de l’utilisation du concept de passion et son influence sur les comportements de jeu, selon le discours des joueurs, sont totalement méconnues. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient d’examiner la pertinence du concept de passion chez des joueurs poker (JdP) et de comprendre les liens entre les deux formes de passion et les problèmes de jeu. Cette étude qualitative descriptive est la deuxième composante d’une étude mixte séquentielle auprès de JdP du Québec (n=12). L’analyse de contenu thématique a été réalisée en privilégiant la thématisation en continu. Parmi les participants, la majorité a été ou est actuellement passionnée de poker et les deux formes de passion sont des concepts pertinents selon les joueurs. Le fait d’être passionné serait l’un des facteurs influençant les comportements de jeu. Toutefois, un JdP peut continuer à jouer sans être passionné alors que l’on peut également être passionné sans nécessairement jouer fréquemment. Il ne semble donc pas y avoir de lien direct entre la passion et la fréquence de jeu. La pertinence du concept de passion pour les joueurs permet de penser qu’il pourrait être utilisé en prévention ou encore dans le traitement des JdP. Passion among gamblers has been studied for the last decade and a half. There are two forms of passion: obsessive passion (OP), which is controlling, and harmonious passion (HP), which leaves room for the gambler’s other activities. Cross-sectional studies associate OP with gambling problems, which is not the case for HP. The relevance of the concept of passion and passion’s influence on gambling behaviour are, however, uncertain, according to gamblers themselves. The objectives of this study were to examine the relevance of the concept of passion for poker players (PP) and understand the connections between the two forms of passion and gambling problems. This qualitative descriptive study is the second part of a sequential mixed study with PPs in Québec (n=12). The thematic content analysis was conducted using continuous thematization. The majority of the participants were or are currently passionate about poker, and both forms of passion are relevant concepts for these players. According to them, being passionate is one of the behaviours that influences gambling behaviour. A PP may, however, continue to play without being passionate, but also be passionate without necessarily playing frequently. There does not, therefore, seem to be any direct connection between passion and frequency of play. The relevance of the concept of passion for poker players suggests that it may be used preventively or in the treatment of PPs.
