Workaholism, Work Engagement and Work-Home Outcomes: Exploring the Mediating Role of Positive and Negative Emotions

Abstract: This study examines the mechanisms through which workaholism and work engagement impact work-home conflict and enrichment, respectively. Specifically, we examine the mediating role of positive and negative emotions (e.g. joviality and guilt) in the relationship between workaholism, work engagement and work-home outcomes. Results, based on a sample of 340 working adults participating in a two-wave study, indicate that negative emotions-particularly anxiety, anger and disappointment-mediate the relationship betw… Show more

“…Although other studies provide evidence on the relation of emotions and negative work attitudes (Balducci, Cecchin, Fraccaroli, & Schaufeli, 2012;Clark et al, 2014), our findings partly found that workaholism is somewhat related to affective descriptors. Our results raise further questions about the substantiation of workaholism.…”

“…In this context, research findings highlighted that individuals with high levels of positive emotions adopt a more positive work attitude and vice-versa in case of adverse affects (see also Brackett, Palomera, MojsaKaja, Reyes, & Salovey, 2010;Clark, Michel, Stevens, Howell, & Scruggs, 2014;Ouweneel, Le Blanc, Schaufeli, & van Wijhe, 2012;Xu, Martinez, Van Hoof, Eljuri, & Arciniegas, 2016). Most research has been focused on validating various measures of wellbeing (Warr, Bindl, Parker, & Inceoglu, 2014;Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) in different work-related contexts.…”

“…However, although both workaholics and engaged employees work hard Schaufeli et al, 2008), studies have found that they differ fundamentally in terms of their underlying motivation (van Beek et al, 2011). This difference seems to have a significant effect on whether the hard work leads to positive or negative outcomes, considering that recent studies have found that workaholism and work engagement, amongst others, had opposite effects on the work-home interaction (Clark et al, 2014;Hakanen & Peeters, 2015). In support of these arguments, the results of this study indicated that the engagement subscales, vigour and dedication, had significant negative relationships with work-home conflict.…”

“…In line with this positive view of engagement, research investigating the relationship between engagement and the work-home interaction (WHI) has mostly focused on the way in which being engaged at work can benefit employees' home lives through work-home facilitation (Clark, Michel, Stevens, Howell, & Scruggs, 2014;Culbertson et al, 2012;Rodríguez-Muñoz et al, 2014). For instance, Siu et al (2010) found that work engagement partially mediated the relationship between job resources (i.e.…”

“…What is the impact on the physical and mental health of the individual? This has always been a matter of great concern to businesses and individuals, and is a controversial issue in academia [46]. The current research on the workaholic outcome variables is concentrated at the individual level, which can be divided into three aspects: health, family and work.…”
