Studying the phenomenon of heavy work investment in an emergent market (Romania) is
necessary due to the frequent practice of employees working overtime, relatively reduced job
satisfaction in contrast to their counterparts from developed markets, and comparatively low
remuneration for the same work effort. Therefore, the aim of this research is to highlight the
influence of heavy work investment forms (workaholism and work engagement) on job
satisfaction and turnover intention. Based on the Attribution Theory, the authors conducted
quantitative exploratory research among employees with tenured contracts in an emergent
market (Romania). The data was gathered with the aid of an online questionnaire, being tested
for reliability, validity, and internal consistency in SPSS, while the hypotheses were tested
with the help of structural equation modelling (AMOS). The results show that job satisfaction
is influenced by both work engagement and excessive working (workaholism). The more a
person is engaged in their work activity, the weaker their turnover intention. Turnover
intention is intricately linked to excessive working, a component of workaholism. From a
managerial standpoint, this paper contributes to a better understanding of the way work
engagement and workaholism influence work outcomes, highlighting possible ways of
improving human resource management in organizations |
