Workaholism is a current issue in modern organizations with well-characterized implications for individual health and well-being. Yet, the affective experience of workaholics at work and their emotional reactivity to job stressors have been poorly investigated, with the few available studies being cross-sectional or based on retrospective reports obtained outside the working time. Here, we conducted an experience sampling study to characterize workaholics' affective experience during work and their emotional reactivity to workday accumulation and momentary workload. A total of 139 full-time back-office workers participated in a 3-day protocol by reporting on their hedonic tone and momentary workload up to six times per workday. Multilevel modeling was used to investigate the relationship between trait workaholism and job-related hedonic tone as well as the cross-level interactions between workaholism and both workday accumulation and momentary workload. As expected, our results showed lower job-related hedonic tone for individuals with higher workaholic tendencies, with workaholism interacting with the two investigated job stressors. However, contrary to our hypotheses, we found that workaholism weakened, rather than strengthening, the negative trend of hedonic tone over the levels of both predictors, a result possibly explained by a blunted reactivity condition due to chronic job strain. Moreover, we corroborated previous findings suggesting worse outcomes in workaholic women compared to workaholic men. Organizations should consider taking action to monitor and manage the workaholism levels in the workforce and to create a psychosocial work environment that discourages the enactment of workaholic tendencies.

揭示工作狂对工作中短暂享乐基调的主要和相互作用的影响：一种体验采样方法。

工作狂是现代组织中的一个当前问题，对个人健康和福祉具有明显的影响。然而，对工作狂在工作中的情感体验以及他们对工作压力源的情绪反应的研究却很少，现有的研究很少是横断面的或基于工作时间之外获得的回顾性报告。在这里，我们进行了一项体验抽样研究，以表征工作狂在工作期间的情感体验以及他们对工作日积累和瞬时工作量的情绪反应。共有 139 名全职后台工作人员参加了为期 3 天的协议，每个工作日最多六次报告他们的享乐基调和瞬时工作量。采用多层次模型研究特质工作狂与工作相关享乐基调之间的关系，以及工作狂与工作日积累和瞬时工作量之间的跨层次相互作用。正如预期的那样，我们的结果显示，工作狂倾向较高的个体与工作相关的享乐基调较低，工作狂与所调查的两种工作压力源相互作用。然而，与我们的假设相反，我们发现工作狂削弱而不是加强了两个预测因子水平上的享乐基调的负面趋势，这一结果可能是由于长期工作紧张导致的反应迟钝所致。此外，我们证实了之前的研究结果，表明与工作狂男性相比，工作狂女性的结果更差。组织应考虑采取行动来监测和管理劳动力中的工作狂水平，并创造一个阻止工作狂倾向的社会心理工作环境。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
