Despite growing attention to the phenomenon of intensified job demand in the workplace, empirical research investigating the underlying behavioral mechanisms that link work intensification to workplace well-being is limited. In particular, a study on whether these behavioral mechanisms are dependent on certain type of individual difference is absent. Using data collected from 356 Chinese health care professionals, this study utilized a dual-path moderated mediation model to investigate the mediating role of job crafting behavior between work intensification and workplace well-being, and the moderating role of work addiction on this indirect path. The results demonstrated that although work intensification was negatively associated with workplace well-being, this effect was more likely to take place for non-workaholics. Specifically, compared with non-workaholics, workaholics were more prone to engage in job crafting behavior in terms of seeking resources and crafting towards strengths, and therefore less likely to have reduced well-being experience. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for research and practice.
尽管人们越来越关注工作场所中工作需求加剧的现象，但实证研究调查将工作强化与工作场所幸福感联系起来的潜在行为机制的研究有限。特别是，关于这些行为机制是否取决于某些个体差异的研究尚不存在。本研究使用来自 356 名中国医疗保健专业人员的数据，采用双通道调节中介模型，探讨工作强化与工作场所幸福感之间的中介作用，以及工作成瘾对该间接路径的调节作用。结果表明，尽管工作强化与工作场所幸福感呈负相关，但这种影响在非工作狂者中更有可能发生。具体而言，与非工作狂者相比，工作狂者更倾向于在寻求资源和发挥优势方面进行工作塑造，因此不太可能体验到幸福感下降。研究结果从研究和实践的角度进行了讨论。
