Abstract:
Background: Workaholism and passion at work have a great influence on the occupational health of workers. In this context, the objectives are threefold: (1) Adapting to Spanish the Passion for Work Scale (PTW) (Vallerand Houlfort) and the Lifestyle Questionnaire (HPLP-II) (Hill-Walker Polerecky); (2) Determining whether the Passion at work and Workaholism are different constructs; and (3) Identifying the predictive ability of criterion variables on Workaholism and Passion at work. Method: Participants were 513 workers in Catalonia, obtained using a non-probability sampling. We used the FACTOR program (version 7.2) and SPSS 20.0. Results: In the PTW scale, the results of the AFC (ESEM) supported the two-factor model (Harmonious Passion and Obsessive Passion). On the lifestyle scale (HPLP-II) the internal structure is reduced from six to four factors (Responsibility towards health, Physical activity, Nutrition, and Spiritual growth and interpersonal relationships). The two scales have adequate reliability and evidence of validity with Burnout, Irritation, Engagement and Self-Efficacy. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that Workaholism and Passion at work are different constructs. The predictive power of variables such as Personality, Engagement, Self-Efficacy, ICO, Life satisfaction and Lifestyle on Workaholism and Passion at work is also determined. Conclusions: PTW Scale and Questionnaire HPLP-II, are reliable and valid instruments, suitable to be uses in Spanish. The Workaholism and Passion at work are different constructs. Workaholism and Passion at work can be predicted by certain variables (Personality, Engagement, Self-Efficacy, ICO, Life satisfaction and Lifestyle).
