Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to test the predictive capacity of pathological traits of personality and career adaptability on four constructs that compose the well-being at work: work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholism. A total of 204 Brazilian working adults (M age = 34.02, SD = 10.39) participated in the study, which responded to scales measuring pathological traits, career adaptability resources, and well-being components at work. Our findings indicate that pathological traits are, in general, negatively related to job satisfaction and work engagement and positively associated with burnout and workaholism. After the insertion of career adaptability, there was an increase in most of the models' explanation. The contribution of adaptability was significant only for job satisfaction prediction.

RESUMO – Este estudo teve como objetivo testar a capacidade preditiva de traços patológicos da personalidade e adaptabilidade de carreira sobre quatro construtos que compõem o bem-estar no trabalho: engajamento no trabalho, satisfação no trabalho, burnout e workaholism. The authors suggest a model with four fundamental constructs for well-being at work: work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholic. Our scope was to investigate the predictive capacity of pathological personality traits and career adaptability factors on the components of well-being at work. Studies indicate that work engagement is associated with better workers’ well-being in organizations (Schaufeli, 2018; Shimazu et al, 2015)
