“…Taking into account that the same addiction symptoms might have somewhat different diagnostic properties in the case of different behaviors (for differences in diagnostic properties of symptoms between work addiction and gaming addiction, see Bereznowski & Konarski, 2020;Khazaal et al, 2018), these results could indicate that the two clusters represent groups of more (tolerance, relapse, conflict, and problems) and less (salience, mood modification, and withdrawal) pathological symptoms of work addiction. Based on this premise and the positive characteristic of work engagement (Schaufeli et al, 2002), we argue that the less pathological symptoms of work addiction would have direct positive relationships with some dimensions of work engagement in the network of work addiction and work engagement.…”

This study aimed to investigate direct relationships of work addiction symptoms with dimensions of work engagement. We used three samples in which work addiction was measured with the Bergen Work Addiction Scale and work engagement was measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. One sample comprised responses from working Norwegians (n1 = 776) and two samples comprised responses from working Poles (n2 = 719; n3 = 715). We jointly estimated three networks using the fused graphic lasso method. Additionally, we estimated the stability of each network, node centrality, node predictability, and quantitatively compared all networks. The results showed that absorption and mood modification could constitute a bridge between work addiction and work engagement. It suggests that further investigation of properties of absorption and mood modification might be crucial for answering the question of how engaged workers become addicted to work.
