Abstract
Introduction
Among the issues that every organization should pay special attention to is knowing employees' psychological and occupational problems. Therefore, nowadays attention to the variable of occupational well-being among employees is increasing. Also, due to the working conditions of employees in organizations and people's desire to work long hours, we can gradually witness the emergence of consequences such as work addiction. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between narcissism and emotional self-regulation with occupational well-being and work addiction, considering the mediating role of mental health.
Method
This research is descriptive in terms of type and correlational research in terms of method, and its statistical population consists of all the employees of an organization in Isfahan city (two thousand employees), among them, 310 employees were selected as a sample through convenience sampling method. Research instruments include work addiction, occupational well-being, emotional self-regulation, dark personality traits, and mental health questionnaires. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling.
Results
The results showed the relationship between emotional self-regulation and mental health; Mental health has a positive and significant relationship with job well-being and narcissism with work addiction, and the relationship between narcissism and mental health and the relationship between mental health and work addiction is negative and significant (p<0.05). Also, the presented model has a favorable fit and mental health mediates the relationship between narcissism and emotional self-regulation with job well-being and work addiction (p<0.05).
Discussion
Therefore, due to the role and importance of phenomena such as job well-being and work addiction in organizations, attention to these important findings should be considered by managers and policymakers of organizations.
