SHKOLER, Or; RABENU, Edna  and  TZINER, Aharon. The dimensionality of workaholism and its relations with internal and external factors. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.3, pp.193-203. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2017.09.002.

“Are workaholics born or made?” The current research aims to answer the question above, while investigating the joint impact of internal and external factors (Work Drive and Work Enjoyment) related to workaholism's dimensions. In Study 1, we hypothesize an order of precedence between those dimensions, utilizing one moderator (Job Autonomy) and one mediator (Work-Family Conflict - WFC) (158 employees). Study 2 (349 employees) expands the general framework, taking two moderators (Self-Criticism and LMX) into consideration. Multivariate (vs. bivariate) analyses allowed more thorough understanding of workaholism and its dimensions. We offer theoretical and practical implications.

Keywords : Workaholism; Self-criticism; LMX; WFC; Emotional instability; Job autonomy; Suppressor variable.
