Even though research on perceiving a calling has been growing, our understanding of its double-edged sword effects and psychological mechanisms remain unclear, especially in terms of work engagement and workaholism. Based on the heavy working investment (HWI) and dualistic model of passion (DMP) theories, we established a dual-path structural model to examine the effects of callings on work engagement and workaholism through two types of passion: harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP) passions. Our results showed that the association between perceiving a calling and work engagement was partially mediated by HP, while the association between perceiving a calling and workaholism was fully mediated by OP. This study contributes to the literature in that it reveals how perceiving a calling has different effects on work engagement and workaholism through the HWI theoretical lens, as well as the mediating roles of HP and OP, based on the DMP theory. Our findings can be practically applied in organizations and counseling.
尽管对使命感的研究一直在不断增加，但我们对其双刃剑效应和心理机制的理解仍不清楚，尤其是在工作投入和工作狂方面。基于高强度工作投入（HWI）和双重激情模型（DMP）理论，我们建立了一个双重路径结构模型，通过两种激情（和谐激情 HP 和痴迷激情 OP）来检验使命感对工作投入和工作狂的影响。研究结果表明，使命感与工作投入的关联部分通过 HP 来中介，而使命感与工作狂的关联完全通过 OP 来中介。本研究通过 HWI 理论视角以及 DMP 理论中的 HP 和 OP 的中介作用，揭示了使命感如何通过不同的途径对工作投入和工作狂产生影响，为文献做出了贡献。我们的研究结果在实践中可以应用于组织和咨询中。
