Adicción al trabajo y flow: una relación conflictiva
... p = .000). Al respecto, Del Líbano et al. (2006) ...
With the approach of welfare in organizations, various researchers have identified a significant relationship between flow at work and psychological well-being, but other researchers have proposed that the flow at work could be the antecedent of addiction work instead of welfare, so this study sought explain personality factors preceding the disposition to flow at work and having a differential effect on the manifestation of psychological and / or workaholism. The research was explanatory and non-experimental design, the sample consisted of 263 employees of the Metropolitan District of Caracas, for data collection used the following instruments: Disposition to Flow at Work Scale [EDFT-3], Psychological Well-Being Scale [EBP], Dutch Work Addiction Scale [DUWAS-10] and Personality Inventory [NEO-FFI], for data analysis technique was used path analysis. The result was that extraversion, openness to experience and conscientiousness are personality factors preceding the disposition to flow at work and that neuroticism is the differentiating factor between the onset of psychological well-being or workaholism.
Se realizó un estudio explicativo y transversal so - bre una muestra de 199 docentes universitarios de Venezuela, con el fin de confirmar el valor de la inteligencia emocional y la disposición a fluir en el trabajo como factores de protección perso - nal ante las diferentes fuentes de estrés laboral y como promotores del bienestar psicológico. Los resultados se analizaron, a partir de dos análi - sis de ruta con la estrategia de modelos rivales, e indicaron que efectivamente ambas variables poseen un efecto de protección sobre algunas fuentes de estrés laboral y de promoción del bienestar psicológico. Eso coincide con lo esti - pulado teóricamente por el modelo PERMA , del cual surgieron las hipótesis.
Denomina-se por adição ao trabalho a combinação de trabalho excessivo e necessidade de trabalhar constantemente o que pode desencadear problemas físicos e psicossomáticos. Este tema tem recebido especial atenção da comunidade científi ca uma vez que, em casos de adição ao trabalho, o indivíduo vai perdendo gradativamente o controle emocional em relação às exigências ocupacionais. Assim, o presente estudo buscou verifi car se variáveis sociodemográfi cas, laborais, tecnoestresse e satisfação com a vida predizem adição ao trabalho em trabalhadores que utilizam Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) nas suas atividades laborais. Trata-se de um estudo de delineamento observacional analítico transversal, sendo a amostra composta por 88 trabalhadores que utilizam em seu trabalho TICs. Os resultados do estudo revelam que as dimensões do tecnoestresse explicam a adição ao trabalho, cor-roborando modelos teóricos que apontam para uma associação entre utilizar excessivamente tecnologia e maior tendência para desenvolver adição ao trabalho. A dimensão ansiedade, quanto ao uso de TICs, revelou maior poder explicativo para as dimensões da adição ao trabalho: trabalho excessivo e trabalho compulsivo. No tocante à dimensão trabalho excessivo, verifi cou-se ainda que a descrença sobre o uso de TICs explica, juntamente com a ansiedade, comportamentos de trabalhar excessivamente. As impli-cações destes resultados podem ter especial importância na implementação e reorganização de rotinas de trabalho, nas políticas de saúde do trabalhador assim como no campo da prevenção e intervenção psicossocial e clínica.

The goal of this study is to identify sociodemographic, laboral and psychosocial risk factors of workaholism in 471 workers in Porto Alegre and metropolitan area. The instrument used was the reduced version of the Dutch Work Addiction Scale (DUWAS). The scale assesses workaholism in its two dimensions, excessive work and compulsive work. The results showed that from the sociodemographic variables, only the gender variable showed a significant difference, where women had higher rates of excessive work. As for the labor variables, excessive work had a positive association with contractual working hours and with working hours that were effectively carried out; and a negative association with the perception of being healthy. Compulsive work was negatively correlated to the time of professional practice and of work in the current company, to the perception of being healthy, and to satisfaction with life in general.
Éste estudio buscó confirmar las propiedades psicométricas de la tercera versión de la Escala de Disposición a Fluir en el Trabajo (EDFT-3), descritas por Millán y D’Aubeterre (2012), las cuales fueron presentadas por Millán, D’Aubeterre y Garassini (2012), en el VIII Congreso de Investigación y Creación Intelectual de la UNIMET. El Flujo puede considerarse como un estado psicológico donde las personas se involucran en una tarea específica al nivel de obviar otros ámbitos o estados en lo que se encuentre (en éste caso el trabajo), estando muy relacionado con la motivación y el disfrute personal (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997), y el mismo forma parte del componente de Entrega del modelo
PERMA del Bienestar Psicológico (Seligman, 2011). La fase confirmatoria es de gran importancia debido a que permite la minimización del error de indeterminación factorial o sesgo confirmatorio, además de simular estadísticamente el carácter causal de los factores sobre las respuestas al test. Se confirma la presencia del modelo pentafactorial de primer nivel, tras descartar la presencia de 6 modelos alternativos detectados durante la validación de la EDFT-3, tal como proponen Millán y D’Aubeterre (2012), a partir de la estructura teórica del modelo del Flujo de Csikszentmihalyi (2009)
The present 2-wave study among 258 secondary school teachers investigates the relationship between personal and organizational
resources on the one hand, and work-related flow on the other hand. On the basis of Hobfoll’s (1988) conservation of resources
theory, Bandura’ social cognitive theory (1997; 2001), and Fredrickson’s (1998) “broaden-and-build” theory of positive emotions,
we formulated two hypotheses: (1) personal resources (i.e., self-efficacy beliefs) and organizational resources (including
social support climate and clear goals) facilitate work-related flow (work absorption, work enjoyment, and intrinsic work
motivation); and (2) work-related flow has a positive influence on personal and organizational resources. The results of a
series of structural equation modeling analyses offer clear support for both hypotheses. The theoretical and practical implications
of these findings are discussed.
What constitutes a good life? Few questions are of more fundamental importance to a positive psychology. Flow research has yielded one answer, providing an understanding of experiences during which individuals are fully involved in the present moment. Viewed through the experiential lens of flow, a good life is one that is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. In this chapter, we describe the flow model of optimal experience and optimal development, explain how flow and related constructs have been measured, discuss recent work in this area, and identify some promising directions for future research. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

This study among 178 music teachers and 605 students from 16 different music schools examined the peak experience of flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). On the basis of the literature, it is hypothesized that job resources, including autonomy, performance feedback, social support, and supervisory coaching have a positive influence on the balance between teachers’ challenges and skills, which, in turn, contributes to their experience of flow (absorption, work enjoyment, and intrinsic work motivation). In addition, using emotional contagion theory, it is hypothesized that flow may crossover from teachers to their students. The results of structural equation modeling analyses offer support for both hypotheses. These findings are discussed in light of theories about crossover and emotional contagion.
This article investigates the effects that perceived challenges and skills in activities have on the quality of everyday life experience. Based on flow theory it was predicted that quality of daily experience would depend on the challenge experienced and skill required in specific situations, as well as on the balance between challenge and skill. The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) was used on a sample of 208 talented adolescents to measure daily variations in four dimensions of experience (concentration, wish to do the activity, involvement, and happiness) in four contexts (in school, with relatives, with friends, and in solitude). The four dimensions of experience were regressed on the predictors challenges, skills, and their absolute difference expressing the balance/imbalance of challenges and skills. Hierarchical linear modeling, explained in detail herein, was conducted on a 1-week sample of experiences. Findings confirm the prediction of flow theory that the balance of challenges and skills has a positive and independent effect on the quality of experience. Yet some differences of parameter estimates were found between dimensions of experience and between social contexts. These heterogeneities call for a further improvement of the flow model.
