정서적 성향과 심리적 주인의식이 조직몰입 및 직무긴장과의 관계에서 일중독의 영향

This study examines the relationship between workaholism and its antecedent variables which are set up as affective disposition and psychological ownership. It also explores the relationship between two outcome variables of workaholism, namely organizational commitment and job strain which are considered as positive and negative aspect of an organization respectively. By analysing the data collected from 699 people of twenty companies, the present study obtains the findings as follows. First, the effect of personality variable on workaholism is verified. Especially, affective disposition including both positive and negative disposition is closely associated with workaholism, and the degree of association is much higher in positive disposition. Second, of the two conflicting hypotheses, one that negative disposition reduces motivation and the other that negative disposition is sensitive to negative information and activates internal pressure of work drive for the preservation of self-esteem, the latter proves to be the more convincing hypothesis. Third, psychological ownership is found to be an important antecedent variable of workaholism. Finally, while work drive is likely to positively affect organization performance, job strain should be judiciously controlled lest it should be heavily imposed. Work enjoyment is also ascertained to play a positive role in organization performance. These findings on workaholism are expected to serve as both theoretical and practical points of reference in organization performance.
