Abstract

The present research aimed to estimate relationships between passion for work, persistence, and workaholism, as well as exploit the effect of the mediating role of persistence. The sample consisted of 197 professionals, of both sexes (51.3% female), aged between 18 and 60 years (M = 30.15 ± 10.77). Pearson correlation coefficient analysis and structural equations modeling were employed. The results suggest that obsessive passion and rigid persistence are positively associated, with moderate and weak magnitudes respectively, with the factors of workaholism. Harmonious passion, in turn, demonstrated a protective role for rigid persistence, and excessive and compulsive work. Regarding the mediation role, it was observed that only rigid persistence had a significant effect. The results partially corroborate the hypothesis and theoretical foundation, providing opportunity for researchers and professionals of interest to advance their knowledge about engagement at work.
