Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Several studies have explored the relationship between personality and work addiction, suggesting that individuals with certain mental disorders, including personality disorders such as obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), may be more prone to work addiction. However, the characterization of personality organization (PO) among workaholics and its contribution to the persistence of work addiction remains unclear.
METHODS: In this longitudinal study of a representative sample of young adults (N = 1748), we applied the Bergen Work Addiction Scale and the Inventory of Personality Organization.
RESULTS: We found significant correlations between work addiction and identity diffusion, primitive psychological defenses, reality testing, and overall personality disorganization across three waves. A latent class growth analysis revealed three profiles: no work addiction, increasing work addiction, and constant moderate work addiction. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that higher levels of personality disorganization in wave 1 and increases in personality disorganization between waves 1 and 3 were associated with higher odds of belonging to the increasing work addiction group. Similarly, higher overall personality disorganization in wave 1 was associated with higher odds of belonging to the constant moderate work addiction group.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that individuals with chronic work addiction have lower levels of PO, and PO declines as work addiction persists. Screenings for work addiction are recommended to prevent potential mental health issues. Future research should explore the influence of workplace characteristics and work motivations on the association between work addiction and personality disorders.

摘要：
背景：一些研究探索了人格与工作成瘾之间的关系，这表明患有某些精神障碍的人，包括人格障碍，如强迫性人格障碍（OCPD），可能更容易工作成瘾。然而,工作狂中人格组织（PO）的特征及其对工作成瘾持续存在的贡献尚不清楚。
方法：在这项对具有代表性的年轻人样本（N=1748）的纵向研究中，我们应用了卑尔根工作成瘾量表和人格组织量表。
结果：我们发现工作成瘾与身份扩散之间存在显着相关性，原始的心理防御，现实测试，以及三波整体人格混乱。潜在的班级增长分析揭示了三个方面：没有工作成瘾，增加工作成瘾，和持续适度的工作成瘾。多项logistic回归分析表明，第1波中较高的人格解体水平和第1波至第3波之间的人格解体增加与加入工作成瘾组的可能性较高有关。同样，第1波较高的整体人格紊乱与属于恒定中度工作成瘾组的较高几率相关.
结论：这些发现表明，患有慢性工作成瘾的个体的PO水平较低，随着工作成瘾的持续，PO下降。建议对工作成瘾进行筛查，以防止潜在的心理健康问题。未来的研究应探讨工作场所特征和工作动机对工作成瘾与人格障碍之间关系的影响。
