In recent years, academics and practitioners have increased their attention to the problem of overwork culture in Taiwan. Because workaholism is a typical antecedent of long working hour and burnout, researchers have examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version ofWork-Addiction Risk Test (WART). To explore the nomological network of workaholism and individual differences of its effects, the aim of this study is to examine the relationships between workaholism and the related consequences, including emotional exhaustion, and work-family conflict, and test the importance of different sub-dimensions of WART using dominance analysis. Furthermore, the present study investigated the moderating effect of individual differences such as gender, conscientiousness, position, and industry on above relationships. We collected data from 532 full time employees in organizations. According to our results, workaholism positively related to emotional exhaustion, and work-family conflict. The positive relationship between workaholism and family-work conflict is stronger for male.When employees have higher conscientiousness, the positive relationship between workaholism and family-work conflict is stronger. For non-managers, the positive relationship between workaholism and emotional exhaustion is stronger. The positive relationship between workaholism, emotional exhaustion and work- family conflict is stronger for employees who are not in the technological and financial industry. The practical implications and research limitations were discussed as well. |
