Abstract

Relationships between workaholism, work-leisure conflict, and work stress were examined. The sample consisted of 339 working adults in the United States. Workaholism was positively correlated with work stress. Additionally, work leisure conflict was positively related to both workaholism and work stress. Moreover, though not a significant moderator, work-leisure conflict was a significant mediator between workaholism and work stress such that workaholism leads to increased work-leisure conflict, which in turn leads to heightened work stress. The results establish workaholism’s wide reach as it can also affect work stress through other variables, such as work-leisure conflict. Developing interventions for work-leisure conflict can especially help workaholics reduce their work stress, as they might find it easier than lowering their workaholic behaviors.

摘要

研究了工作狂、工作休闲冲突和工作压力之间的关系。样本由美国的 339 名在职成年人组成。工作狂与工作压力呈正相关。此外，工作休闲冲突与工作狂和工作压力呈正相关。此外，虽然不是显着的调节因素，但工作休闲冲突是工作狂和工作压力之间的重要中介，工作狂导致工作休闲冲突增加，进而导致工作压力增加。结果表明工作狂的影响范围很广，因为它还可以通过其他变量（例如工作休闲冲突）影响工作压力。为工作休闲冲突制定干预措施尤其可以帮助工作狂减轻他们的工作压力，
