Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which has come to the fore, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic is arguably neglected within the scope of working life. For this reason, there is a need for research in organizational psychology to examine OCB in working life. The purpose of the present study was to examine the associations of OCD tendencies of employees with work addiction and job stress. Quantitative research was designed to achieve the research purpose. A total of 771 white-collar employees completed a survey that included psychometric assessment tools for the three aforementioned variables. Correlation analysis indicated that OCD was positively associated with both work addiction (p < 0.001) and job stress (p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed that the rumination (a subscale on the OCD scale) was significantly associated with work addiction (β= 0.39 p < 0.001) and job stress (β= 0.40 p < 0.001). The obtained findings are interpreted theoretically, empirically, and practically, and possible research suggestions regarding the examination of OCD in working life are discussed.
