“…Since Oates [1] first defined the term workaholism as an uncontrollable need or compulsion to work, a number of studies have examined the negative consequences of the concept [2][3][4] and predictors thereof [5,6]. Although these studies have contributed meaningfully to the literature, most have focused on the domain of self-perspective.…”

Although much research has been conducted on workaholism, its crossover effects remain uninvestigated, especially in the context of organizations. Based on the job demands-resources (JD-R) model of burnout and the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we established a dual-path structural model to examine the effects of supervisors’ workaholism on subordinates’ turnover intention through two types of job demands (perceived workload and interpersonal conflict) as well as subordinates’ emotional exhaustion. The results revealed that supervisors’ workaholism is positively related to subordinates’ emotional exhaustion through increased perceived workload and interpersonal conflict, which result in subordinates’ turnover intention. This study has made a contribution to the literature by extending the scope of workaholism research from self-perspective to other-perspective. The findings also have practical implications for organizations and their human resources (HR) practitioners.

“…Research has linked calling to outcomes such as perceived well-being, meaningfulness, fulfilment, and work engagement (for a review, see Dik & Duffy, 2009. That said, vocational calling may also be a doubleedged sword, with potential links to workaholism, burnout, and organizational exploitation (Choi et al, 2020;Keller et al, 2016). When situated in our immoral economy, the risks of valorizing excessive work and productivity may be heightened for those who are lucky enough to find meaningful work.…”

Centering Matrices of Domination: Steps Toward a More Intersectional Vocational Psychology

The present paper responds to calls to integrate a more explicitly intersectional framework and agenda to vocational psychology. We elucidate how several matrices of domination (i.e., interlocking systems of oppression) may shape the working lives of Americans. Although vocational psychology has made limited progress in exploring two such matrices—the impact of White supremacy and Patriarchy—and expanding research, theory, and clinical work to increasingly diverse populations, we argue that other oppressive systemic forces have been largely overlooked. In response to this gap, a close analysis of how our economic system (i.e., late-stage capitalism, neoliberalism) and Christian hegemony (i.e., protestant work ethic, the prosperity gospel) have impacted the workforce is provided. Finally, to center intersectional perspectives on change, we argue that vocational psychology must pivot to a more activist stance and provide recommendations for research, training, and clinical work.

“…Over the past decade, hundreds of empirical research studies on a calling have been published and have consistently shown that workers with a calling are a benefit to both their organizations and the individuals within them (Bunderson and Thompson, 2009; Cardador et al ., 2011; Choi et al ., 2020). A calling has also been shown to be related to positive work outcomes.…”

“…As corporate counselors conduct a coaching program, it is essential to let workers perceive and understand the CSR of their organization. Considering that CSR has elicited various positive work-related outcomes (Glavas and Kelley, 2014; Choi et al ., 2020; Turker, 2009), CSR can be expected to play an important role in boosting the synergistic effects among workers with a calling. In addition, career counselors who are working with job seekers with a calling could recommend occupations and organizations in which job seekers' calling could effectively be expressed to improve the meaningfulness of their work and help them live up to their calling (Duffy et al , 2018).…”

PurposeThis study investigated how and when corporate social responsibility (CSR) fosters job seekers' application intention using a mediated moderation model. Specifically, the study explored the positive effect of CSR on job seekers' intention to apply, the moderating role of applicants' calling and the mediating role of value congruence in the relationship between the person and organization.Design/methodology/approachThe study sample consisted of 259 college students in South Korea. A quasi-experimental design and survey were used. Data were analyzed using a regression-based path analysis to test a mediated moderation model.FindingsThe results showed that CSR significantly increased job seekers' application intention, which was moderated by their calling. Furthermore, the interaction between CSR and calling on application intention was fully mediated by the value congruence between person and organization.Practical implicationsThe results suggest that engaging in active CSR can effectively attract job applicants, especially those with a high calling, who are known as qualified workers needed for the organization. The findings can provide a competitive advantage to organizations in this highly competitive environment.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of the micro-effect of CSR by showing the positive influence of CSR on job seekers' application intention. Further, by evaluating a mediated moderation model, this study advances the field's understanding of the underlying mechanisms of CSR, especially in terms of calling and value congruence.
