Predicting workaholism in Spain: a discrete mathematical model

Abstract: At the present time one of the most 'desirable' behavioral addictions that any person could develop is workaholism, a negative psychological state characterized by working excessively and compulsively. In our society, the successful person is who spends all time working. Moreover, a common pattern of company's management consists of stressing and putting pressure on their employees to achieve the maximum profit. This trend has increased with the economic crisis in Spain and over the world. As a consequence, th… Show more

“…Typically there are two main ways to produce questionnaires to measure the level of consumption of a good or service, questionnaires focused on the amount of activity performed [25] and others focused on the psychological dependence of the consumer [22,26]. Hybrid questionnaires combine both parameters to produce an appropriated questionnaire [27].…”

“…Epidemiological mathematical models have been employed during last years to describe the propagation of several social disorders such as the consumption of substances like alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, and so forth [19,20] as well as the development of habits like compulsive shopping, workaholism, bigorexia, sex addiction, and eating disorders [21][22][23][24].…”

“…In their work, Predicting workaholism in Spain: a discrete mathematical model, de la Poza et al [11] propose a discrete mathematical model to forecast the development of workaholism in Spain in the next few years. A questionnaire is used in order to measure and classify the sample in sub-populations by their level of addiction, and different economic scenarios are simulated.…”

“…Section 3.4 shows the conclusions. Typically there are two main ways to produce questionnaires to measure the level of consumption of a good or service, those questionnaires focused on the amount of activity performed (Heatherton, 1991) or those focused on the psychological dependence of the consumer (García, 2007;De la Poza et al, 2013a). Hybrid questionnaires combined both parameters to produce an appropriated questionnaire (Pope et al, 2000a).…”
