Examining the antecedents and consequences of workaholism.

Abstract

The authors examined the various antecedents and consequences of workaholism using a sample of 336 undergraduate students in the United States. Path analysis revealed that perfectionism and negative affect significantly predicted workaholism scores. Further, the effect of workaholism on life satisfaction was significantly mediated by leisure boredom and loneliness. Another path suggested that perfectionism directly predicted loneliness, with greater loneliness being significantly related to lower life satisfaction. The authors discuss the implications for organizational interventions and suggest recommendations for future research.
