Abstract
The passion for work can be a predictor of positive behaviors and attitudes, but can also be negative and harmful to the well-being of employees. The aim of this chapter is to test a model in which workaholism presents itself as the main variable and seeks to analyze antecedents (passion for work) and consequences (burnout and psychological well-being). With a sample of 441 participants from different professional areas, aged between 18 to 63 years (M = 12.47, SD = 1.46), the results show that harmonious work passion contributes to an explanation of workaholism and an individual's well-being. No statistically significant effects were observed on burnout levels. Organizations should seek to foster work environments that favor the harmonious passion of their employees, thus contributing to an increase in their psychological well-being.
