Understanding the Relationship Between Antecedents of Heavy Work Investment (HWI) and Burnout

How Does Work Motivation Impact Employees’ Investment at Work and Their Job Engagement? A Moderated-Moderation Perspective Through an International Lens

“…Notably, many studies deal with the implications of working overtime (e.g., Stimpfel et al, 2012;Caruso, 2014). However, to the best of our knowledge, empirical studies regarding the investment of efforts at work as an indicator of HWI (e.g., Tziner et al, 2019) are scarce. Therefore, the current research addresses both of the core dimensions of HWI (i.e., time [HWI-TC] and effort [HWI-WI]).…”

Heavy-Work Investment: Its dimensionality, Invariance across 9 Countries and Levels before and during the COVID-19’s Pandemic

“…The aims of the current statistical and comparative paper were to (1) shed light on the psychometric properties of the relatively "new" construct of Heavy-Work Investment (Snir & Harpaz, 2012, 2015, and its two dimensions -Time (HWI-TC) and Effort (HWI-WI), (2) assess differences across 9 countries in relation to HWI, (3) gauge the effect that demographical parameters may have on HWI, and (4) investigate the interaction between said demographics and the sample groups (i.e., "before" the COVID-19 pandemic, and "during" the COVID-19 pandemic). Our current research adheres to the very few, and extant, studies which tested and validated Brown and Leigh's (1996) HWI measure (e.g., Rabenu et al, 2019;Shkoler & Kimura, 2020;Shkoler, Rabenu, Vasiliu et al, 2017;Tziner, Buzea et al, 2019). As was mentioned, to the best of our knowledge, this is also one of the very few pioneering studies that research HWI in the context of COVID-19.…”

Of course, time investment, solely, at work does not necessarily represent an employee's favourable (or, even, truthful) attitude towards it (van Beek et al, 2011).…”

Examining the Effects of Cultural Value Orientations, Emotional Intelligence, and Motivational Orientations: How do LMX Mediation and Gender-Based Moderation Make a Difference?

“…To indicate a negative exemplar, we examined work burnout, which is usually described as a psychological state related to stress over time and is composed of (a) emotional exhaustion, (b) experienced distance from others (depersonalization), and (c) feelings of reduced personal accomplishment/efficacy associated with a variety of negative outcomes (Anthony-McMann et al, 2017). Moreover, burnout may also be affected by individual differences, job experiences, and work stressors (e.g., Nahrgang et al, 2011;Tziner et al, 2018;Rabenu et al, 2019;Tziner et al, 2019a).…”
