Abstract

BACKGROUND

Work addiction (WA) threatens occupation-related health in many countries including China. This research aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Bergen Work Addiction Scale (BWAS), the most common measure of WA, to facilitate relevant studies in Chinese workers. A network analysis was further conducted to identify central and bridge symptoms within the WA-anxiety network to improve intervention practices.

METHODS

A total of 694 Chinese white-collar workers completed an online questionnaire survey in March of 2022, and the responses to BWAS from a subsample of 50 participants one month after this survey were also collected.

RESULTS

The unidimensionality of BWAS was supported by results of exploratory factor analysis, exploratory graph analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis and we found satisfactory internal consistency and acceptable test-retest reliability. Multiple-group factor analyses confirmed the measurement invariance of BWAS across genders, districts (i.e., central China, eastern China, western China, and northeastern China), and age groups (i.e., young and middle-aged adults) while the convergent validity of BWAS was demonstrated by its significant correlations with Dutch Work Addiction Scale (r = 0.62, p < 0.001) and its criterion validity was indicated by its significant correlations with general anxiety, weekly work hours, and health status (r = -0.16 to 0.31, p < 0.001-0.01). Network analysis further revealed two central symptoms (WA-tolerance and WA-problems) and three bridge symptoms (WA-problems, WA-mood modification, and mouth dryness of general anxiety) maintaining the WA-anxiety comorbidity.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest that BWAS is a valid measure of WA in Chinese workers and interventions should put special attention to the identified central and bridge symptoms underlying the WA-anxiety network.

摘要

背景

工作成瘾（WA）威胁着包括中国在内的许多国家与工作相关的健康。本研究旨在评估用于测量 WA 的最常用工具——卑尔根工作成瘾量表（BWAS）的中文版的心理测量学特性，以促进中国工人的相关研究。进一步进行网络分析，以确定 WA-焦虑网络中的核心和桥梁症状，从而改善干预措施。

方法

2022 年 3 月，共有 694 名中国白领完成了一项在线问卷调查，一个月后，还从该调查的 50 名参与者中收集了 BWAS 的回复。

结果

探索性因素分析、探索性图分析和验证性因素分析结果支持 BWAS 的单维性，我们发现内部一致性良好，重测信度可接受。多组因素分析证实 BWAS 在性别、地区（即中国中部、东部、西部和东北部）和年龄组（即年轻和中年成年人）之间具有测量不变性，而 BWAS 与荷兰工作成瘾量表（r=0.62，p<0.001）的显著相关性表明了其聚合效度，与一般焦虑、每周工作时间和健康状况的显著相关性（r=-0.16 至 0.31，p<0.001-0.01）表明了其标准效度。网络分析进一步揭示了两个核心症状（WA 耐受性和 WA 问题）和三个桥梁症状（WA 问题、WA 情绪修饰和一般焦虑的口干）维持着 WA-焦虑共病。
