“…Moreover, harmonious passion is positively linked with job satisfaction and citizenship behavior at work [ 32 ], flow [ 33 ], engagement [ 31 ], hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and awakening to purpose [ 34 ] and negatively links with burnout and intention to leave the organization [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Harmonious passion, directing the person’s attention to personally important activities and own resources, supports perceiving demands in forced work as a challenge and enhance the motivating role of demands.…”

Background: This study examines the relationship between perceived demands (workload and organizational constraints) of teachers’ work during the online period of schooling during the COVID-19 crisis and well-being (emotions, engagement, and job crafting), with work passion as a mediator. Methods: The survey was carried out on a sample of 383 teachers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Scale of Organizational Constraints and the Workload Scale, the Passion Scale adapted for work, the Job Crafting Questionnaire, the Utrecht Scale of Work Engagement, and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience was used. Results: Harmonious passion strengthened the positive relationships between workload and organizational constraints and job crafting and weakened the negative relationship with positive emotions and the positive one with negative emotions. The positive relationship between workload and engagement has been strengthened by harmonious passion. The negative relationship between organizational constraints and engagement became positive and weaker. Relationships between variables were weakened, i.e., workload and engagement, organizational constraints and job crafting, or strengthened, i.e., organizational constraints and engagement, by an obsessive passion. In tested models, obsessive passion has the opposite effect and is weaker than harmonious passion. Conclusion: The structural equation modeling (SEM) confirmed that work passion, mainly harmonious, is a mechanism explaining the relationship between the demands of forced work from home with teachers’ well-being.

“…These individuals internalize the relevant activities voluntarily as part of their identity, which generates meaning and a feeling of fulfillment in their work without creating conflicts with other parts of their life. Resources not only contribute to employees’ greater involvement and increased well-being but also have the power to prevent burnout through harmonious passion ( Trépanier et al, 2013 ; Yukhymenko-Lescroart and Sharma, 2022 ).…”

In a world marked by exponential change, work demands are intensifying and becoming increasingly prominent in organizations’ reality. Work demands are stressors for the employees who must deal with these requests as they bring with them costs. Promoting these workers’ well-being at work is important as their level of comfort is closely related to how they will behave in the workplace. In this context, work passion is a fundamental factor in employees’ daily motivation to work well. This study tested a new approach to work demands, distinguishing between challenges and obstacles, exploring how they influence affective well-being at work when work passion is part of the equation. Individual workers also participate in how demands are formulated, which affects their level of well-being at the workplace. Data were collected with an online questionnaire administered to a sample of 515 participants who had been working in the same organization for at least 6 months. The results of multiple regression analysis show that the way demands are revealed influences what kind of work passion predominates and thus how much workers’ well-being at work is altered. Harmonious passion emerges as a personal resource that has the power to prevent negative affective states related to work from developing, while obsessive passion ends up putting even more demands on employees and having a stronger negative association with their affective well-being in the workplace.

“…Supporting teachers to passionately engage in their work activities and reflect upon the role of their career in fulfilling their life's purpose can increase their sense of calling (Yukhymenko‐Lescroart & Sharma, 2020). Interventions in maintaining and enhancing professional identity can be assumed necessary for higher career calling.…”

Researchers suggest that personal and contextual factors may interact to predict career calling; however, the antecedents of career calling have received less research attention. Consequently, the aim of this research is to develop and test a research model that investigates work engagement and professional identity as mediators of the effect of social support on career calling among 456 Chinese special education teachers. Structural equation modeling analyses revealed that perceived social support predicted high levels of work engagement, professional identity, and career calling. Furthermore, work engagement and professional identity simultaneously and sequentially mediated the relationship between perceived social support and career calling. Our findings suggest that supportive social relationships may increase the willingness to dedicate one's time and efforts and enhance the clarity of professional identity, ultimately fostering a sense of career calling. This research would be valuable to both academics and practitioners who are seeking to explore various antecedents of career calling.
