Understanding the Relationship Between Antecedents of Heavy Work Investment (HWI) and Burnout
Following Snir and Harpaz’s (2012) model of Heavy Work Investment (HWI), we propose a model that clarifies the relationship of antecedents of HWI to burnout. The model consists of several components: (a) external/situational antecedents, ‘income’ and ‘workload’ and internal/dispositional antecede...

Following Snir and Harpaz’s (2012) model of Heavy Work Investment (HWI), we propose
a model that clarifies the relationship of antecedents of HWI to burnout. The model consists
of several components: (a) external/situational antecedents, ‘income’ and ‘workload’ and
internal/dispositional antecedents, ‘job engagement’ and ‘workaholism’; (b) a mediator
variable, HWI (divided into ‘time’ and ‘effort’); and (c) ‘burnout’ as the outcome variable.
Data was obtained by social science students who surveyed 388 Romanian employees, ages
19 to 66, on two consecutive occasions with a six-week interval (times T1 and T2). Using
structural equation modelling, the mediation has an excellent fit at both T1 and T2. The
mediation role of HWI is confirmed for T2, with respect to three factors – job engagement,
workaholism and workload – but not for T1. The findings are discussed, as are their
contribution to the theoretical literature and new directions for further research and
organizational practice. |
