A number of studies have demonstrated relationships between various self-endorsed “irrational beliefs” and Type A coronary-prone behavior in young, healthy college student samples and in healthy, middle-management executives. The present study examined the relationship between Type A personality and irrational beliefs in a sample with coronary heart disease. Extensive analyses yielded some statistically significant results. Type A behavior and its components were related to beliefs reflecting inordinate need for competence and concern about control issues. The observed relationships were small and, by themselves, appeared to have limited clinical utility. While it was concluded that cognitive intervention may be effective in reducing some facets of coronary-prone behavior in certain individuals, such therapies would best be applied after the identification of specific target beliefs.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the way of doing work for the relationship between employees’ perfectionism, type A personality and workaholism during COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 668 Lithuanian employees participated in a study. The sample included employees who worked in the workplace (n = 331), as well as those who worked completely from home (n = 337). The levels of workaholism were measured using DUWAS-10 (Schaufeli et al., 2009). A multidimensional perfectionism scale (Hewitt et al., 1991) was used for the measurement of perfectionism. Type A personality was assessed with the help of the Framingham type A personality scale (Haynes et al., 1980). It was revealed in a study that the positive relationship between perfectionism and workaholism was stronger in the group of complete remote workers. It was further found that the moderating role of the way of doing work was not significant for the relationship between type A personality and workaholism. Overall, the findings support the idea that remote work is an important variable determining the development of health-damaging working behaviors among those employees who excel perfectionistic attributes. Therefore, the way of doing work must be considered when addressing the well-being of employees.

The principal aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the Type A personality, optimal experience (Flow) and career success orientation. Three questionnaires measuring the above-mentioned constructs were administered to 200 managers from a variety of South African organisations representing all organisational functions, genders and cultural groups. Using Flow and Type A as input variables, the sample was divided into four homogeneous clusters with the aid of a clustering technique. By means of a factor analysis, four career success orientations were identified and four scales were constructed accordingly. The four clusters were compared with one another in terms of career success orientation. From the analysis it transpired that Type As did not experience their work in an optimal way. However, in terms of career success orientation, type As obtained the highest mean Opsomming Die hoofdoel van die studie was om die verband te bepaal tussen Tipe A persoonlikheid, optimale belewenis van werk (Vioei) en loopbaansuksesorientasie. Die drie vraelyste wat die bovermelde konstrukte meet, is afgeneem op 200 bestuurders uit 'n verskeidenheid Suid Afrikaanse organisasies verteenwoordigend van alle organisatoriese funksies. geslagte en kultuurgroepe. Met Vloei en Tipe A persoonlikheid as insetveranderlikes is die steekproef in vier homogene bondels verdeel aan die hand van 'n bondelingstegniek. Met behulp van n faktoranalise is vier loopbaansuksesoriëntasies geïdentifiseer en is vier skale dienooreenkomstig gekonstrueer. Die vier bondels is met mekaar vergelyk in terme van loopbaansuksesoriëntasies. Daar is met behulp van die analise bevind dat Tipe A's hulle werk nie optimaal beleef nie, maar wat loopbaansuksesoriëntasie betref, het hulle die hoogste gemiddelde tellings behaal.

The relationship of two facets of Type A personality, Achievement Striving and Impatience-Irritability, with Mach-B scores was investigated. Mach-B scores were not correlated with Achievement Striving and were positively correlated ( r = .37; p<.01) with Impatience-Irritability in a sample of 51 hospital employees including physicians ( n=12), nurses ( n = 12), administrative staff ( n = 13), and custodial services employees ( n = 14).
