Your work may be killing you! Workaholism, sleep problems and cardiovascular risk

Abstract: This study tests the relationship among workaholism (i.e. working excessively and compulsively), sleep problems and cardiovascular risk in 537 hospital employees. Four types of workers (i.e. workaholics, positive, compulsive and hard workers) were distinguished, comparing the health indicators. The results show that workaholics experience significantly more sleep problems (i.e. morning tiredness, sleeping while driving and sleeping fewer hours both on weekdays and at weekends, with poorer quality), have higher… Show more

“…However, limited research has looked at the combined effects of these two dimensions of workaholism on these important work‐related outcomes. Interestingly, emerging person‐centred research suggests that employees characterized by a high level on both dimensions tend to experience fewer sleeping hours and poorer sleep quality on weekdays and weekends, relative to those scoring high on only one dimension (Salanova et al ., ).…”

“…Specifically, attitudinal and health outcomes were assessed in the present series of studies (i.e., work–family conflict, emotional exhaustion, perceived stress, turnover intentions, psychological detachment, job satisfaction, and perceived health in Study 1, as well as work–family conflict, emotional exhaustion, perceived health, and life satisfaction in Study 2). First, we studied the effects of workaholism profiles on various work outcomes previously documented to be associated with workaholism (e.g., emotional exhaustion) across a variety of cultural samples (e.g., Dutch: Schaufeli, Bakker et al ., ; Italian: Kravina et al ., ; Spanish: Salanova et al ., ). Second, we also considered outcomes already found to be related to workaholism, but only in the context of past variable‐centred research in order to see whether these results would generalize to but person‐centred studies (e.g., work–family conflict).…”
