Addiction and Passion for Work
Addiction and passion for work have a great influence on workers' occupational health and, in this study, we analyse these concepts in order to ascertain whether they are the same or different concepts. Moreover, we evaluate the predictive capacity of variable criteria on addiction and passion for work. The research participants were 513 workers (48.1% men, 51.9% women), obtained through non-probabilistic sampling. Fisher's Test shows that work addiction and passion for work are different constructs. The predictive capacity is determined by variables such as personality, engagement, self-efficacy, ICO, life satisfaction and lifestyle with respect to workaholism and passion at work. In conclusion, workaholism and passion at work are different constructs, which can be predicted by the abovementioned variables.
