“…This model assumes that all human emotions may be plotted on the surface of a circle that is defined by two orthogonal dimensions that run from pleasure to displeasure and from activation to deactivation. In a similar vein, both dimensions may constitute employee well-being (Bakker & Oerlemans, 2011;Salanova, Del Líbano, Llorens, & Schaufeli, 2014). That is, employees who experience displeasure at work may suffer from burnout or workaholism, whereas employees who experience pleasure may feel satisfied or engaged.…”

We used and integrated the circumplex model of affect (Russell, 1980) and the conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 1998) to hypothesize how various types of employee well-being, which can be differentiated on theoretical grounds (i.e., work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholism), may differently predict various job crafting behaviors (i.e., increasing structural and social resources and challenging demands, and decreasing hindering demands) and each other over time. At Time 1, we measured employee well-being, and 4 years later at Time 2, job crafting and well-being, using a large sample of Finnish dentists (N = 1,877). The results of structural equation modeling showed that (a) work engagement positively predicted both types of increasing resources and challenging demands and negatively predicted decreasing hindering demands; (b) workaholism positively predicted increasing structural resources and challenging demands; (c) burnout positively predicted decreasing hindering demands and negatively predicted increasing structural resources, whereas (d) job satisfaction did not relate to job crafting over time; and (e) work engagement positively influenced job satisfaction and negatively influenced burnout, whereas (f) workaholism predicted burnout after controlling for baseline levels. Thus, work engagement was a stronger predictor of future job crafting and other types of employee well-being than job satisfaction. Although workaholism was positively associated with job crafting, it also predicted burnout. We conclude that the relationship between job crafting and employee well-being may be more complex than assumed, because the way in which employees will craft their jobs in the future seems to depend on how they currently feel.

“…Workaholism may induce fatigue since long working hours and lack of physical activity, sleep, relaxation, or entertainment can induce tiredness and burnout (Andreassen. et al, 2018;Salanova, Del Libano, Llorens, & Schaufeli, 2014). In addition, the aforementioned work-life balance stress induced by workaholism may also induce chronic fatigue (Bohle, Willaby, Quinlan, & McNamara, 2011;Kocalevent, Hinz, Brahler, & Klapp, 2011).…”

Background and aimsFew studies have tested the underlying mechanisms in the association between workaholism and depression. This study aims to investigate the potential mediation effects of work-life balance stress and chronic fatigue and depression among Chinese male workers in Hong Kong.MethodsA population-based study among male workers in Hong Kong (n = 1,352) was conducted. The self-reported scales of assessing workaholism, work-life balance stress, chronic fatigue and depressive symptoms were included in the questionnaire. Path analysis was conducted to test the proposed mediation model.ResultsWorkaholism was directly and indirectly associated with depression through work-life balance stress and chronic fatigue, respectively. The association between work-life balance stress and chronic fatigue was statistically significant in the correlation analysis but not in the path analysis. As high as 30.5% of the participants were classified as having probable chronic fatigue, while 8.4% of the participants were classified as having probable depression.DiscussionWorkaholism is a stressor that may induce negative consequences on well-being and health among male workers in Hong Kong. Interventions to help workers with time and stress management and fatigue reduction may be beneficial for their mental health. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…As work constitutes a pivotal and fundamental component in people's lives, wide consensus exists among scholars that it is of profound importance to individuals (Harpaz and Fu, 2002;MOW -International Research Team, 1987;Snir and Harpaz, 2005;Snir, 2014). Scholars have shown growing interest in long work hours (Conway et al, 2017;Ng and Feldman, 2008), overwork (Golden, 2006(Golden, , 2009Mazzetti et al, 2016), workaholism (Salanova et al, 2014) and heavy work investment (Schaufeli, 2016;Snir andHarpaz, 2009, 2012), owing to their possible important outcomes for the individual (e.g. well-being, health), hihe/sher family (e.g.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine heavy time investment in work from both dispositional and situational perspectives. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected twice, at the beginning and at the end of a 12-year period, from the same respondents of the Meaning of Work project in Israel. Findings The classification of respondents as heavy work investors (work more than 50 weekly hours) or as ordinary workers is stable over the years, which indirectly supports the dispositional perspective. The situational perspective is generally not supported. Remaining at the same workplace or changing workplaces and a stable or changing classification of a person as a heavy work investor or as an ordinary worker over the years are dependent on each other. However, no relation was found between change in financial needs and a person’s level of time investment in work. Only two out of 14 relevant life events relate positively and significantly to the level of time investment in work over the years: appointment to manage other workers and receiving greater work autonomy. Practical implications The effectiveness of policies designed to encourage working long hours on the one hand, or a work-life balance on the other, is questionable. However, a specific intervention which, based on the findings of this study, may encourage time investment in work is expanding the job vertically. Originality/value This is an exceptional longitudinal study examining stability (over time) and situational predictors of work hours among the same individuals.
