How and when does workaholism predict lower work performance and life satisfaction?

Le résumé fourni par la source

Purpose This study aims to examine the indirect effects of workaholism on life satisfaction (Samples 1 and 2) and work performance (Sample 2) as mediated by presenteeism. This study also examined whether these indirect effects differed at various levels of work−home segmentation. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data from two samples of employees with jobs in administration (Sample 1) and engineering (Sample 2). Findings The results showed that workaholism was associated with higher levels of presenteeism, whereas work−home segmentation was negatively related to presenteeism. Presenteeism was also negatively related to life satisfaction (Samples 1 and 2) and work performance (Sample 2). Furthermore, the positive effects of workaholism on presenteeism were stronger at low levels of work−home segmentation. Finally, the indirect effects of workaholism on life satisfaction (Samples 1 and 2) and work performance (Sample 1) were significantly mediated by presenteeism at low levels of work−home segmentation, but not at high levels of work−home segmentation. Originality/value This research demonstrates that work−home segmentation buffers the detrimental effects of workaholism.
