A predictive study of antecedent variables of passion towards work

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to conduct a correlational-predictive study of the antecedent variables of Passion towards Work. Method: The participants were 513 workers (48.1% male, 51.9% female), obtained through non-probability sampling. We used the FACTOR programs (7.2 version) and SPSS 20.0. Results: We found that variables such as Personality, Engagement, Self-efficacy, obsessive-compulsive component COI, Life satisfaction and Lifestyle were predictive of Passion towards Work. Conclusions: Passion towards Work can be predicted as follows: The variables Dedication, Growth, Physical activity, Satisfaction with life and Excessive responsibility were direct predictors of Harmonious Passion whereas Vigor was an inverse predictor. Similarly, the variables Absorption and Excessive responsibility were predictors of Obsessive Passion, whereas Satisfaction with life, Openness to experience and Kindness were negative predictors.
