Examining the links between attachment, perfectionism, and job motivation potential with job engagement and workaholism

TL;DR: In this paper, Stoeber et al. investigated the relationship between perfectionism and three key aspects of peoples' working lives that are closely associated with employees' health and well-being: work engagement, workaholism and job burnout.

TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of the possible differential effects associated with perfectionism at work and found that perfectionism has sizable and consistent relationships with several organizationally relevant factors but an equivocal overall relationship with job performance.

TL;DR: The pursuit of perfectionism resonates with many individuals across workplaces resulting in a recent flurry of research on the topic as mentioned in this paper, however, these efforts are scattered across multiple disciplines and utilize varying conceptualizations, as a result, we lack a coherent understanding of how perfectionism influences work behavior.

TL;DR: Testing how workload, via workaholism, impacts job performance along with the complex interplay of perfectionistic concerns and work engagement in this mediated relationship suggests work engagement should be monitored and promoted by managers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is tested in which burnout and engagement have different predictors and different possible consequences, showing that burnout is mainly predicted by job demands but also by lack of job resources, whereas engagement is exclusively predicted by available job resources.

TL;DR: The Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) as discussed by the authors was developed to diagnose existing jobs to determine if (and how) they might be redesigned to improve employee motivation and productivity, and to evaluate the effects of job changes on employees.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how Sullivan traced from early infancy to adulthood the formation of the person, opening the way to a deeper understanding of mental disorders in later life, using a developmental approach to psychiatry.

TL;DR: The attachment behavioral system: basic concepts and principles as discussed by the authors, a model of attachment-system functioning and dynamics in adulthood, Normative attachment processes, Measurement of attachmentrelated constructs in adulthood.
