Fear of death is an emotional manifestation of the instinct for self-preservation. Any threat to our existence induces an anxiety response. Death anxiety can trigger obsessive-compulsive behaviours, such as an obsessive passion for work. Using a sample of 314 participants (68.2% female), with a mean age of 38.97 years (SD = 10.36), this study sought to observe the predictive effect of death anxiety on work passion, as well as the moderating effect of work-family centrality and connection on the relationship between anxiety and passion. The results revealed that death anxiety negatively affects harmonious passion, and positively affects obsessive passion. Work centrality did not moderate the influence of death anxiety on harmonious and obsessive passion. Nonetheless, work connection moderated the influence of death anxiety on harmonious passion. The negative influence of death anxiety on harmonious passion was greater in a group with high work connection than a group with low connection.
对死亡的恐惧是自我保护本能的一种情绪表现。对我们生存的任何威胁都会引发焦虑反应。死亡焦虑会引发强迫行为，比如对工作的强迫性热情。本研究以314名参与者（68.2%为女性）为样本，平均年龄38.97岁（标准差=10.36），旨在观察死亡焦虑对工作热情的预测作用，以及工作-家庭中心性和关联性对焦虑与热情之间关系的调节作用。结果显示，死亡焦虑对和谐热情有负面影响，对强迫热情有正面影响。工作中心性并未调节死亡焦虑对和谐热情和强迫热情的影响。然而，工作关联性调节了死亡焦虑对和谐热情的影响。与低工作关联性组相比，高工作关联性组中死亡焦虑对和谐热情的负面影响更大。
