Examining the factor structure of workaholism through scale development: Preliminary evidence of dimensionality and construct validity

Examining the factor structure of workaholism through scale development: Preliminary evidence of dimensionality and construct validity

The present study describes the preliminary development of a new measure designed to integrate conflicting conceptual perspectives in the workaholism literature. Based on prior research, we constructed items to represent five hypothesized dimensions of workaholism, administered digitally, and collected data from 203 respondents. Exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblique rotation revealed three, rather than five, related factors representing affective pleasure, work intensity, and compulsive effort. Relations with existing measures of workaholism and job involvement are examined and future directions, discussed.

Meta-analysis of the Burnout-Depression Relationship in Teachers

Meta-analysis of the Burnout-Depression Relationship in Teachers

We conducted a meta-analysis of 11 studies of educators (n = 11,729) that bear on the relationship of the MBI?s subscales, emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and a reduced sense of professional accomplishment (rPA) with each other and with validated depression scales (we expect to add two or three more studies in the coming months). The EE-depression correlation (r = 0.68; disattenuated r = 0.76) was greater than the intercorrelations among the three MBI subscales and the correlations of DP and rPA with depression. The evidence suggests that among educators the tripartite conceptualization of burnout consisting of EE, DP, and rPA does not hold up. An implication of our research is that an educator who is suffering from burnout could be helped by a clinician who specializes in the treatment of depression. We believe this an reduce attrition.
