This research relies on complementary variable- and person-centred approaches to investigate the underlying dimensionality of workaholism construct.

Confirmatory factor analyses were carried out in a heterogeneous sample of 2,714 employees from the Netherlands (n= 2,164) and Spain (n= 550). The results confirm...
