Abstract

In today’s industrial working environment, too many responsibilities of employees have forced them to extend their working hours and thus affect their individual mood. Having to work overtime may cause individuals to gradually engage in workaholic work. Excessive work obligation or habit can disrupt the emotional balance of the individuals or make it difficult for them to regulate their emotional state. From another point of view, the emotional balance of individuals in industrial life is considered an important skill. This research aims to explore the mediating role of emotional stability between emotion regulation and overwork. The research data were collected by applying a questionnaire with the convenience sampling method with 320 participants from the health sector. All participants work in health institutions in Istanbul and voluntarily agreed to participate in the survey. A research questionnaire was structured by using the expressions of overwork, emotional balance, and regulation of emotions scales from the literature. The results regarding the relationship between emotion regulation and overwork show that the emotional stability of individuals has an important effect. With the findings of the research model established with the research hypotheses, it was aimed to draw the attention of the researchers to overwork as a concerning issue that may affect the emotional state of the individuals.
