The current study contributes to our understanding of workaholism as a negative construct, and to its measurement by examining the psychometric properties of a short 10-item workaholism scale called DUWAS (Dutch Work Addiction Scale). Confirmatory factor analyses were carried out in a heterogeneous sample of 2,714 employees from the Netherlands (n= 2,164) and Spain (n= 550). The results confirmed the expected two-factor structure of workaholism: working excessively and working compulsively. Moreover, multi-group analyses showed that this two-factor structure was invariant across both countries. Lastly, negative correlations among workaholism and psychosocial well-being (i.e., perceived health and happiness) are indicators of the negative nature of workaholism.
本研究通过检验一个名为 DUWAS（荷兰工作成瘾量表）的简短 10 项工作成瘾量表的心理测量特性，为我们对工作狂作为一种消极结构的理解做出了贡献，并对其进行了测量。在荷兰（n=2164）和西班牙（n=550）的一个异质员工样本中进行了验证性因素分析。结果证实了工作狂的预期两因素结构：过度工作和强迫工作。此外，多组分析表明，这种两因素结构在两个国家都是不变的。最后，工作狂与社会心理幸福感（即感知健康和幸福）之间的负相关表明了工作狂的消极性质。
