Adicción al trabajo, satisfacción laboral, familiar, Workaholism, Family satisfaction, work satisfaction,Resumen
La adicción al trabajo (AT) ha sido definida por algunos como una psicopatología de comienzo insidioso y curso progresivo, caracterizada por conductas desadaptativas con consecuencias negativas para quien la padece. Controversialmente y desde el punto de vista de un empleador eventual, la AT podría asociarse a aumento inicial de la producción. Se busca aquí obtener indicadores de AT y sus eventuales asociaciones con satisfacción laboral (SL) y satisfacción familiar (SF).
Una muestra de 105 académicos de una universidad estatal chilena responden el Test Riesgo de Adicción Laboral (Robinson, 1989), la Escala de SF por Adjetivos (Barraca & López-Yarto, 1997) y el Cuestionario de SL S20-23 (Meliá & Peiró, 1989). Se observa altos índices de AT (55.2%) y también indicadores positivos de SL (M=5.7, en escala de 1 a 7) y familiar (M=141.7 en escala de 0 a 170). La AT y la SL correlacionan negativamente (r = -0.325), lo cual es especialmente marcado en las mujeres (r= - 0.71) sin embargo no se observa relaciones significativas entre AT y SF. Estos y otros resultados y sus posibles explicaciones teóricas son analizados.
Work addiction (WA) is an insidious and progressive disorder that implies several maladaptive behaviors and negative consequences for people’s life. Controversially and from the point of view of a potential employer, the WA may be associated with initial increase in the production. We want to obtain indicators of WA and its possible association with job satisfaction (JS) and family satisfaction (FS).
A sample of 105 faculty answered the Work addiction Risk Test (Robinson, 1989), the Family Satisfaction Scale (Barraca & López-Yarto, 1997) and the Work Satisfaction Questionnaire (Meliá & Peiró, 1989). Descriptive analysis shows high levels of WA (55%), but also good levels of WS (M= 5.7 in a 1-7 scale) and FS (M=141.7 in a 0-170 scale). Among other specific results, WA and WS were negatively correlated (r=-0.325), especially in women (r=-0.71). No significant relationship was observed between WA and FS, the results and theoretical alternatives are discussed.
