Workaholism literature has been so far focused on individual differences in workaholic tendencies, considering the construct as a stable individual trait and highlighting its health and well-being consequences. Only recently, research has started inspecting the daily dynamics and potential consequences of state workaholism. In this preregistered study, we aimed at systematically investigating the within-individual fluctuations in workaholism levels and their potential short-term and delayed psychophysiological responses as captured by ambulatory assessment integrating subjective and objective data. Using an intensive longitudinal design over 10 workdays with 114 workers from various occupations (2,534 measurement occasions), we found higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure, emotional exhaustion, and sleep disturbances in workdays characterized by higher-than-usual workaholism symptoms. Moreover, the reactivity to state workaholism, as indexed by afternoon blood pressure, was found as a mediator of the subsequent prolonged activation indexed by bedtime blood pressure. Finally, we found evidence of a buffering effect of evening psychological detachment on the relationship between state workaholism and sleep disturbances. Overall, our results support the conceptualization of workaholism as a multilevel phenomenon that acts as an internal job-related demand by showing the typical strain reactions triggered by well-characterized external demands. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting that transient workaholism symptoms can result in significant short-term stress responses at different levels, providing new, robust, and multisource evidence that underlies the importance of effectively preventing and managing dysfunctional work investment since its early manifestation.

工作狂的日常成本：对血压、情绪疲惫和睡眠障碍的个人调查。


迄今为止，工作狂文献一直关注工作狂倾向的个体差异，将其视为一种稳定的个体特征，并强调其对健康和福祉的影响。直到最近，研究才开始审视国家工作狂的日常动态和潜在后果。在这项预先注册的研究中，我们的目的是系统地调查个人内部工作狂水平的波动及其潜在的短期和延迟的心理生理反应，这些反应是通过结合主观和客观数据的流动评估捕获的。通过对来自不同职业的 114 名工人（2,534 个测量场合）进行 10 个工作日的密集纵向设计，我们发现工作日的收缩压和舒张压较高、情绪疲惫和睡眠障碍，其特征是比平时更严重的工作狂症状。此外，以下午血压为指标的对状态工作狂的反应，被发现是随后以睡前血压为指标的长时间激活的中介因素。最后，我们发现了夜间心理疏离对工作狂和睡眠障碍之间关系的缓冲作用的证据。总体而言，我们的结果支持将工作狂概念化为一种多层次现象，通过显示由明确的外部需求引发的典型紧张反应，充当与工作相关的内部需求。 这项研究为文献做出了贡献，强调短暂的工作狂症状可能会导致不同程度的显着短期压力反应，提供新的、强有力的、多源的证据，证明自早期表现以来有效预防和管理功能失调工作投资的重要性。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
