Abstract
Work centrality is the belief regarding the value and importance of work in a person's life. This manuscript provides the results of a quantitative review of the antecedents and consequences of work centrality. An analysis of 95 independent samples, yielding 343 correlations, indicated that work centrality is strongly related to several personality and work related variables such as protestant work ethic (ρ = .41), organizational commitment (ρ = .42), intention to quit (ρ = -.38) and job satisfaction (ρ = .26). Moderator analysis revealed troubling findings regarding one commonly-used measure of work centrality. These concerns are addressed and recommendations are offered for future research.
