ارتباط شخصیت با اعتیاد به کار

This study examined the relationship of personality factors with three workaholism components identified by Spence and Robbins (1992). Six personality factors were considered: The Big Five (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Openness to new experience) and Generalized self-efficacy. Data were collected from 496 health care employees (mostly nurses) in Norway using questionnaires. Personality factors were significantly related to all three workaholism components (Work involvement, Feeling driven to work, Joy in work) controlling for both personal demographic and work situation characteristics. Generalized self-efficacy was positively related to all three workaholism components, Extraversion was positively related to both Work involvement and Joy in work while Neuroticism was positively related to Feeling driven to work.
