Objetivos: analisar a relação entre a work passion e as escolhas da carreira de policiais e bombeiros militares brasileiros em participarem de missões de paz da ONU. Metodologia/abordagem: A abordagem de pesquisa foi qualitativa, sob estratégia de estudo qualitativo básico. Foram entrevistados oito policiais militares e um bombeiro militar participantes em missões de paz por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e a análise, deu-se com o auxílio de análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011). Principais resultados: Percebeu-se que a relação entre work passion e escolhas de carreira dá-se em uma relação cíclica e a work passion foi vista como um elemento emocional presente no “autodirecionamento” do indivíduo, sendo este uma das bases da carreira proteana. Contribuições acadêmicas: propõe-se o entrelaçamento entre a work passion e o desenvolvimento da carreira proteana, enfatizando-se a dimensão emocional presente nas decisões racionais que os trabalhadores tomam ao longo do seu crescimento profissional. Contribuições práticas: Evidenciou-se que mesmo em organizações consideradas tradicionais, em seus aspectos de carreira, existem possibilidades de escolhas características da carreira proteana. Nesse sentido, buscou-se publicizar acerca da participação de profissionais em missões de paz, as quais podem representar uma oportunidade de crescimento profissional e emocional, destacando-se a relevância que a work passion possui diante das decisões de carreira.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the association of harmonious work passion with career satisfaction, while probing the mediating role of employees’ psychological career resources and career preoccupations as important psychosocial career mechanisms in this association. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a cross-sectional quantitative study comprising a sample of (n = 550) employees in various South African organisations. Findings The current study found that individuals’ career preferences, career drivers, career harmonisers and career adaptation preoccupations are dynamic mechanisms that regulate the link between harmonious passion and career satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The study is located in South Africa and was cross-sectional in design. Generalisation to other occupational contexts and establishing cause-effect relations were not possible. Practical implications This paper demonstrates the usefulness of harmonious work passion as an additional positive psychological construct in understanding the psychosocial motivational career mechanisms that drive employees’ career satisfaction. The mediating role of certain psychological career resources (i.e. flexible career preferences, career drivers and career harmonisers) and career adaptation preoccupations in the link between employees’ harmonious passion and career satisfaction need to be considered in career management support practices. Social implications This paper demonstrates the growing need to better understand the psychosocial mechanisms that influence employees’ career satisfaction. Originality/value The study contributed new insights that extend theory and research on the harmonious work passion phenomenon in relation to important career constructs in the work-career context by means of self-determination theory.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of work passion on life satisfaction and job performance through a work–life conflict path and a work–life enrichment path. The authors also consider individual and contextual factors under which these relationships are affected. Implications for researchers and HR practitioners are highlighted. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual paper draws mainly on conservation of resources theory to explore the differential impact of work passion on the work–life interface and, consequently, on life satisfaction and job performance. Findings The authors theorize how two types of passion – harmonious and obsessive – relate to both work–family conflict and work–family enrichment. Given the emphasis on resources in these relationships, the authors also consider the moderating effects of psychological detachment and a supportive work–family organizational culture. Finally, the authors demonstrate the significant impact of studying the passion/work–family relationship by illustrating its effects on two important outcomes for individuals and organizations, namely life satisfaction and job performance. Originality/value Although the study of work passion is gaining attention from management scholars, little research has examined its influence on job performance and the work–life interface. This paper advances the authors’ knowledge in these areas. Furthermore, the authors argue the importance of considering both the individual and organizational contexts wherein the experience of work passion plays out.
