Editorial: Exploring heavy work investment: multidimensional constructs and work outcome variance
Bibliographic record
Abstract
studies (71,625 participants) across 23 countries. With an overall pooled prevalence of 15.2%, the analysis reveals that roughly one in seven employees may be affected by workaholism. Metaregression showed that studies using nationally representative samples reported significantly lower prevalence (around 9.8%), while non-representative samples yielded higher estimates. Triad personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) interacted with career interests to predict subjective and objective career success among 300 South African professionals. They found that the association between narcissism and higher career success is amplified for individuals with enterprising interests, while Machiavellianism was linked to better success when social interests were high. In contrast, psychopathy showed limited predictive value for career outcomes regardless of interest type. The study situates its findings within personenvironment fit theory, highlighting that Dark Triad traits can be leveraged adaptively depending on one's vocational interests. The authors acknowledge limitations to their study, including crosssectional design and self-report measures, and call for longitudinal and multi-method approaches to clarify causal pathways.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
