Abstract
SAYAN, İlknur. The mediator role of the use of emotion in the association between personality traits and workaholism. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.2, pp.221-232. Epub June 21, 2021. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.37.2.451711.
This study examined the mediator role of use of emotion (UoE) component of the emotional intelligence Scale in the relationship between extraversion (EX) and conscientiousness within the Big Five personality factors, and the dimensions of working excessively (WE) and working compulsively of the Dutch Work Addiction Scale. Along with this aim, data were collected from healthcare staff, most of who were nurses, working at private hospitals serving in Istanbul. The findings indicated that WE had a non-significant direct effect on EX (β = −0.358; p > .05), while the indirect effect of WE on EX through UoE was significant (β = 0.147; p < .05). This study reveals that UoE acts as a full mediator in the effect of WE on EX.
