“…However, researchers postulate that they should be distinguished and treated as positive and negative constructs [1]. Although both are characterized as high activation states, work engagement and workaholism are related to pleasant and unpleasant emotions, respectively [2]. The most often used scientific definition of work engagement presents it as "[...] a positive fulfilling work-related state of mind characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption" [3, p. 74].…”

“…In the case of integrated regulation, actions that are initially taken for external reasons are fully congruent with the individual's values and needs and are incorporated into the self. This regulation is autonomous or selfemployees have high energy while working, are highly involved in work that is seen as significant and meaningful, and are fully concentrated on and happily engrossed in their work [2]. Little agreement exists on the definition of workaholism; however, most researchers associate it with heavy investment of both time and effort in work [4].…”

“…They are located on a pleasant extreme with positive emotional states such as enthusiasm, enjoyment, pleasure, and happiness [10]. Secondly, engaged employees find meaning not only in their work but often indicate that their enthusiasm and energy also appear outside work [2]. For workaholics, who are obsessed with work activities, work is the primary domain from which they derive pleasure and meaning [4,11].…”

Objectives: This study integrates the Self Determination Theory and the Job Demands-Resource model in explaining motivational antecedents of 2 forms of excessive work: work engagement and workaholism. It specifically examines the relationship between job autonomy, situational work motivation, work engagement, and workaholism. Material and Methods: The sample comprised 318 full-time employees of an international outsourcing company located in Poland. The mediation analysis was used for testing hypotheses about the mediation of autonomous and controlled motivation in the relationship between job autonomy, work engagement, and workaholism. Results: The results have confirmed that autonomous motivation mediates the relationship between job autonomy and work engagement. The assumption about the mediation role of controlled motivation in the relationship between job autonomy and workaholism has not been confirmed; however, external regulation (i.e., controlled motivation) is a significant predictor of workaholism. Conclusions: Giving employees more job autonomy might increase their intrinsic and identified regulation and may therefore lead to more energetic, enthusiastic, and dedicated engagement with their jobs. Workaholism may be predicted by external regulation, and work characteristics other than job autonomy may play an important role in enhancing this controlled type of motivation. Int

“…A vitalidade subjetiva e os afetos negativos se mostraram como os principais preditores do burnout. Estes resultados são melhor compreendidos dentro do modelo circumplex do BES no trabalho (Bakker & Oerlemans, 2011), o qual propõe que o BES no ambiente de trabalho pode ser defi nido em duas dimensões bipolares: uma que vai do prazer ao desprazer e outra que vai da alta ativação à baixa ativação. O quadrante caracterizado pelo desprazer (emoções negativas) e pela baixa ativação (falta de vitalidade subjetiva) pode resultar em burnout, tal como demonstraram os dados deste estudo (Innanen, Tolvanen, & Salmela-Aro, 2014).…”

ResumoEste trabalho tem por objetivo testar a hipótese de que a autoefi cácia atua como mediador entre o bem-estar subjetivo e o burnout. Participaram 228 cadetes, com idade média de 24 anos (DP = 0,85), sendo 148 policiais e 80 bombeiros. As análises de regressão demonstram que as variáveis do bem--estar subjetivo, principalmente a vitalidade subjetiva e os afetos negativos, predizem signifi cativamente o burnout e suas subdimensões. As análises de mediação feitas provêm evidências empíricas satisfatórias para o papel mediador desempenhado pela autoefi cácia. Esses resultados poderão apoiar o planejamento de intervenções que visem o fortalecimento da autoefi cácia em cadetes. A academia deve fornecer aos cadetes não apenas as técnicas e conhecimentos imprescindíveis para a atuação profi ssional, mas também proporcionar o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de autorregulação que possibilitem um senso maior de autoefi cácia, além de condições educacionais e laborais adequadas. Palavras-chave: Autoefi cácia, burnout, bem-estar subjetivo. AbstractThis study aimed to test the hypothesis of the mediating role of self-effi cacy between subjective well-being and burnout in military cadets. The participants were 228 cadets at a military academy, 148 police offi ces and 80 fi refi ghters, at a mean age of 24 years (SD = .85). Regression analyses showed that the subjective well-being variables, mainly subjective vitality and negative affects, signifi cantly predict burnout and its subdimensions. The analyses of mediation provide satisfactory empirical evidence for the mediating role played by belief in self-effi cacy. These results can support the planning of interventions aimed at strengthening self-effi cacy in cadets. The academy should provide cadets not only with the technical and essential knowledge for professional practice, but also provide the development of self-regulation mechanisms that allow for a greater sense of self-effi cacy, in addition to appropriate educational and working conditions.

Este é o caso, por exemplo, de policiais e bombeiros militares, que estão sujeitos a situações que podem por em risco suas vidas, além de terem que lidar com condições precárias de trabalho decorrentes de uma estrutura pública por vezes defi citária. De acordo com alguns estudos, estes profi ssionais são mais susceptíveis a apresentar sintomatologia de estresse no trabalho, níveis elevados de sofrimento físico e psíquico e burnout (E. R.
