The study investigates if the job-demands resources (JD-R) model could be improved by including workaholism in its health impairment process. Salient predictors and antecedents of workaholism and work engagement are identified in a sample of 12170 employees at Norwegian universities and university colleges. Structural equation modeling suggested that job demands and job resources relate to workaholism and work engagement, respectively. The results also revealed that both workaholics and work-engaged employees put in more hours at work than was expected of them. We found that workaholism was negatively related to work-related health, whereas work engagement was positively related to work-related health. These findings support the notion of workaholism and work engagement as two different forms of working hard. Finally, we tested the buffer hypothesis that job resources would moderate the effect of job demands on workaholism. The moderations were in the expected direction, but effect sizes were weaker than those typically reported in previous investigations. In conclusion, the present study supports the expansion of including workaholism in the JD-R model.
该研究调查了工作要求-资源（JD-R）模型是否可以通过将工作狂纳入其健康损害过程来加以改进。在挪威大学和学院的12170名员工样本中，确定了工作狂和工作投入的显著预测因素及前因。结构方程模型表明，工作要求和工作资源分别与工作狂和工作投入相关。结果还显示，工作狂员工和工作投入的员工工作时间都比预期的要长。我们发现，工作狂与工作相关健康呈负相关，而工作投入与工作相关健康呈正相关。这些发现支持了工作狂和工作投入是两种不同努力工作形式的观点。最后，我们检验了缓冲假设，即工作资源会调节工作要求对工作狂的影响。调节作用符合预期方向，但效应大小比以往调查中通常报告的要弱。总之，本研究支持将工作狂纳入JD-R模型的扩展。
