Workaholism is increasingly recognized as a potential threat to occupational health. Although most research has conceptualized workaholism as a trait, some research suggests that it may also fluctuate from day to day. Moreover, the effects of the dynamic properties of workaholism on work and family outcomes may be contingent on one's economic situation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the interactive effect of workday workaholism and economic resources on nightly work-family conflict and family engagement. Using experience sampling methodology, we demonstrated that workaholism fluctuates from one day to the next and has detrimental short-term effects on work-family conflict. Additionally, our findings indicated that the interaction between workday workaholism and perceived income adequacy predicted both nighty work-family conflict and family engagement. While the association between workday workaholism and work-family conflict was stronger for those who experienced low income adequacy, the relationship between workaholism and family engagement was stronger for those who exhibited high income adequacy. Similarly, job security buffered the effect of workaholism on work-family conflict. We discuss the theoretical and practice implications of this study as well as recommend future research directions.
工作狂现象日益被认为是职业健康的潜在威胁。虽然大多数研究将工作狂视为一种特质，但一些研究表明，它也可能每天都在变化。此外，工作狂的动态特性对工作和家庭结果的影响可能取决于一个人的经济状况。因此，本研究旨在检验工作日工作狂和经济资源对夜间工作-家庭冲突和家庭参与的交互作用。使用经验抽样法，我们证明了工作狂从一天到另一天的变化，并对工作-家庭冲突产生了不利的短期影响。此外，我们的研究结果表明，工作日工作狂和感知收入充足之间的相互作用预测了夜间工作-家庭冲突和家庭参与。虽然对于那些收入不足的人来说，工作日工作狂与工作-家庭冲突之间的关系更强，但对于那些收入充足的人来说，工作狂与家庭参与之间的关系更强。同样，工作保障缓冲了工作狂对工作-家庭冲突的影响。我们讨论了这项研究的理论和实践意义，并提出了未来的研究方向。
