Resumen:
© 2019: Editum, Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia. Murcia (Spain). Recent studies have suggested a relationship between certain personality variables and work addiction. In the present work we conduct a predictive study of the background variables of work craving through the variables Impulsivity, Personality, Perfectionism, Self-esteem and Self-efficacy. The participants were 332 workers obtained by non-probability sampling. We used the SPSS 23.0 program. The results of the correlation analysis show positive and negative associations with the variables studied. The regression analysis determines the predictive capacity of variables Emotional Stability, Perfectionism and Self-esteem account for 24.40% of the variance of Feelings Generated by Work (WCS.FW). And the predictor variables Emotional stability and Self-esteem account for 14.0% of the Need to Work (WCS.NW). It can be concluded that Work craving can be predicted through certain variables (Emotional Stability, Perfectionism and Self-esteem). This research contributes to greater knowledge of work addiction. The results have important practical implications to work that should be considered for the appropriate strategic management of human resources within organizations. The most notable among these are the need to promote the enhancement of self-esteem and emotional stability.
