Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze how sociodemographic variables explain the levels of engagement and workaholism in the work of intensivist nursing professionals. An exploratory study with quantitative approach to the data was adopted as a method, conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of nursing professionals working in adult intensive care services in public and private hospitals in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Descriptive analyses of the participants and Pearson correlations were performed between the variables explored through the Software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 19.0. The results showed that the sociodemographic variables were weakly related or even not related to engagement and workaholism. It was concluded that the weekly workload was positively related to the levels of remuneration of the participants, and this with their schooling. It was also observed that the levels of education of intensivist nursing professionals did not establish a statistically significant relationship with the participants’ engagement indexes.

Summary
In today’s society people invest a large percentage of their time dedicated to work, or even preparing for this purpose. Work occupies a central place in the lives of individuals and is considered a healthy activity, capable of providing people with feelings of well-being, happiness and satisfaction, but the worker’s relationship with their work can result in negative outcomes (DUARTE, 2018). The outcomes that will happen to the worker may be the result of two distinct states of affective well-being. Well-being is linked to how people think and how they feel about their lives, being structured by affective and cognitive components. The affective component is linked to emotions, such as pleasure and displeasure, and cognitive allows the individual a more holistic analysis of his life (RYAN et al, 2001). We will discuss two distinct forms of affective well-being at work, engagement and workaholism
