Abstract

Overwork has long captivated the attention of researchers and practitioners, as it is commonly associated with a negative impact on family life and family problems, and can provoke many adverse health effects such as stress and burnout (Kossek, Kalliath, and Kalliath 2012; Tomazevic, Kozjek, and Stare 2014; Hino et al. 2015). This theme raises even larger concern as reportedly an estimated 22 percent of the global workforce, or 614.2 million workers, work more than 48 hours per week (Lee, McCann, and Messenger 2007). This is why we wanted to make it the focus of this issue in an effort to contextualize the special place of overwork within macro political, economic, and cultural trends, and to enhance understanding of the connection between the length of the workday and psychological well-being.
