ZARDO, Edemar  and  CARLOTTO, Mary Sandra. The mediating role of life satisfaction in the relation between work addiction and work-family conflict. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.50-68. ISSN 1982-1247.  https://doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2020.v14.27410.

This study aimed to evaluate whether life satisfaction (LS) plays a mediating role in the relation between work addiction (WA) and work-family conflict (WFC) in a sample of 490 Brazilian self-employed professionals. As research instruments, a sociodemographic and labor questionnaire, the Dutch Work Addiction Scale (DUWAS), the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) and the Work-Family Interaction Scale (Survey Work-Home Interaction Nijmegen, SWING) were used. The results confirmed the hypothesis that LS acts as a mediator between WA and WFC dimensions. Thus, the importance of time management is highlighted. The balance of work activities with the responsibilities and family leisure is a key feature of prevention of WA.

Keywords : Work Addiction; Life Satisfaction; Work-family Conflict; Self-employed Professionals.
