Individual factors can affect numerous work-life interface outcomes, including work-family conflict and burnout. Recently, the concept of work addiction has been investigated as an individual factor that could affect numerous outcomes. Despite the large body of literature investigating work-family conflict and burnout in athletic training, little is known about the incidence of work addiction or its potential effect on these outcomes.
To gather descriptive data on the work-addiction risk and examine the effect work addiction may have on work-life interface outcomes in athletic training.
Cross-sectional study.
Online web-based survey.
Athletic trainers (ATs) employed in all work settings were recruited to participate via social media and email distribution lists. Data from 226 (n = 65, 28.8% males; n = 161, 71.2% females) ATs, currently employed in more than 13 work settings, were included in data analysis.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The online questionnaire consisted of 4 main sections: demographic questions, work-family conflict scale, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, and the Work Addiction Risk Test. We calculated Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine if group differences existed. Simple linear regressions were used to assess if work-addiction risk scores predicted burnout and work-family conflict.
The ATs experienced moderate levels of personal (55.0 ± 19.1) and work-related (50.0 ± 16.0) burnout and were at medium risk for work addiction (58.3 ± 11.2). No demographic differences were observed in burnout or work-family conflict scores, but these scores differed based on the work-addiction risk. Women were more at risk for compulsive tendencies than were men. Work-addiction risk scores predicted both burnout and work-family conflict, but only a relatively small percentage of the variability was explained.
Those ATs at higher risk for work addiction reported higher levels of burnout. Because of the medium risk for work addiction among ATs, work-addiction mitigation strategies should be implemented by individuals and organizations.
个体因素会影响众多工作-生活界面的结果，包括工作-家庭冲突和倦怠。最近，工作成瘾的概念已被视为可能影响众多结果的个体因素进行了研究。尽管有大量文献研究了运动训练中的工作-家庭冲突和倦怠，但对于工作成瘾的发生率及其对这些结果的潜在影响知之甚少。
收集有关工作成瘾风险的描述性数据，并研究工作成瘾可能对运动训练中工作-生活界面结果的影响。
横断面研究。
在线网络调查。
招募在各种工作环境中工作的运动训练师（ATs）通过社交媒体和电子邮件分发列表参与。数据来自 226 名（n = 65，男性占 28.8%；n = 161，女性占 71.2%）目前在 13 个以上工作环境中工作的 ATs，被纳入数据分析。
在线问卷由 4 个主要部分组成：人口统计学问题、工作-家庭冲突量表、哥本哈根倦怠量表和工作成瘾风险测试。我们计算了 Mann-Whitney U 和 Kruskal-Wallis 检验，以确定是否存在组间差异。简单线性回归用于评估工作成瘾风险评分是否预测倦怠和工作-家庭冲突。
ATs 经历了中等水平的个人（55.0 ± 19.1）和与工作相关的（50.0 ± 16.0）倦怠，并且处于工作成瘾的中等风险（58.3 ± 11.2）。在倦怠或工作-家庭冲突评分方面，没有观察到人口统计学差异，但这些评分因工作成瘾风险而异。女性比男性更容易出现强迫倾向。工作成瘾风险评分预测了倦怠和工作-家庭冲突，但仅解释了相对较小的变异性百分比。
那些工作成瘾风险较高的 ATs 报告了更高水平的倦怠。由于 ATs 工作成瘾的风险较高，个人和组织应实施工作成瘾缓解策略。
