“…According to Kim et al (2019), the fear of losing the job is another determinant of workaholism in Asia (South Korea, China, Indonesia, Philippines); this is especially the case among foreign workers. The study conducted by Shin and Shin (2020) shows that job insecurity has positive effects on workaholism. In Europe, Andreassen et al (2012) found that in the banking system, workaholism is often determined by the desire to climb the hierarchical scale within the organization and to occupy management positions.…”

The purpose of this article is to make an exhaustive analysis of the influencing factors for the phenomenon of workaholism in IT. In contemporary economies, workaholism is an increasingly common phenomenon. Companies should evaluate the impact on workers of this trend, and note that knowledge of the factors influencing the decision to overwork can be a competitive advantage when implementing human resources policies. Our approach involved the use of multivariate analysis of variance combined with multiple linear regression analysis. The article analyzes the data from 178 respondents who are employed in the IT sector in Romania, taking into account seven potential factors of influence. The data and econometric analyses were processed in IBM SPSS Software. The results of the multivariate analysis of variance combined with multiple linear regression analysis show a significant relationship between workaholism and influencing factors such as the remunerative component of work, the intrinsic pleasure of working, the sense of responsibility towards family, and the desire to develop during a professional career. In this study, socio-demographic influences were found to have a weak influence on the decision to work excessively.

“…As the main resources for employee coping, research suggests that FSSB, such as emotional, instrumental support and role modeling may allow employees to manage their incompatibility between work and family domains (Crain et al , 2014). Though feeling obsessed may lead to work–life imbalance (Shin and Shin, 2020), employees are more likely to manage the demands from work and family with the help from their supervisors. H4 describes that FSSB may weaken the negative relationship between workaholism and psychological detachment from work.…”

“…Workaholics not only spend much time on work but persistently and frequently think about when they are not working. They also less likely disengage themselves from work that further interfere other domains (Schaufeli et al , 2008; Shin and Shin, 2020). Previous studies examine workaholism from inner pressure to work (i.e.…”

“…As a relatively stable trait, these workaholics are preoccupied by uncontrollable obsession to work excessively and compulsively that may consume extra resources at the expense of their non-work life (Allen et al , 2014; Clark et al , 2016; Spagnoli et al , 2020). These workaholic individuals feel obliged to take overloaded job demands that may lead to the incompatibility between work and family roles, cause degraded family function and inefficient family communication (Oates, 1971; Shin and Shin, 2020). Thus, we assume that individuals with workaholic tendencies may experience greater WFC.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the workaholism on work–family conflict via the mediator of psychological detachment from work and the moderator of family-supportive supervisor behavior. Design/methodology/approach To avoid common method bias, the authors adopted a three-wave data collection with a one-month lagged design. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed and 322 usable questionnaires were collected. The PROCESS macro for SPSS was applied to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings Findings demonstrated that workaholism is positively related to work–family conflict; psychological detachment from work mediates the relationship between workaholism and work–family conflict. Moreover, family-supportive supervisor behavior moderates the relationship between workaholism and work–family conflict and between workaholism and psychological detachment from work, respectively. Finally, family-supportive supervisor behavior moderates the indirect effect of workaholism and work–family conflict via psychological detachment from work, such that the indirect effect was weaker when family-supportive supervisor behavior was high. Practical implications The study suggests that it is necessary for organizations to be responsible for employee well-being in different domains because the impact of workaholism on physical and mental health may bring unexpected consequences because of the lack of recovery and the loss of resources. This study not only shows the importance for individuals to look for ways to disengage from workplace but addresses the significance of supervisory support from organizational aspects. Originality/value This study includes psychological detachment from work as mediator and family-supportive supervisor behavior as moderator to investigate the moderated mediation relationship in the current highly demanding workplace. By applying conservation of resource and role scarcity hypothesis regarding individual resource allocation, the results may shed lights on facilitating individuals distancing from obsessively and excessively working mentality and behaviors that further lessen incompatibility in both work and family domains.

“…Construction employees may experience job insecurity caused by hazardous and precarious employment and working conditions [ 69 ]. Additionally, factors such as socioeconomic situation, form of employment, and social support all directly impact job insecurity [ 70 , 71 ]. Job insecurity can increase stress and worry on the family sphere, which can exacerbate the effects of work–family conflict [ 72 ].…”

Burnout is at all-time highs across modern professions. As a typical labor-intensive industry, the high-pressure and task-driven nature of the construction industry makes construction workers more prone to burnout. It is still unclear whether increasing the professionalization level can lessen the many harmful consequences of job burnout on construction workers’ employment. Therefore, this study examined the influencing mechanism of professionalization on job burnout in the construction industry. First, a theoretical model based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory was developed with workload, job insecurity, and work–family conflict as moderating variables. A reliable sample of 441 Chinese construction workers were then recruited in the investigation. The data analysis was supported by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicated that: (i) an increase in the professionalization level could be directly effective in alleviating job burnout among construction workers; (ii) workload and work–family conflict could play an independent and continuous mediating role between professionalization and job burnout; and (iii) while job insecurity caused by a low professionalization did not have a direct impact on job burnout, it could have an indirect impact on job burnout through workload and work–family conflict, respectively. This study enriches the literature on job burnout among construction workers, as well as provides a theoretical basis and practical management guidance for Chinese construction companies to alleviate job burnout in workers from a professionalization standpoint.
