Abstract

With reference to relevant theories of economics, management science, and psychology, this research classifies the influences that lead to Chinese knowledge workers’ overwork into three categories: antecedent variables, deter-mining variables and moderating varia-bles, and constructs a conceptual model concerning its formation mechanism, which, taking off from Chinese knowledge workers’ group features and individual features, makes an analysis of the correlations between these influences and their mechanisms of action. Empiri-cal study on the knowledge workers in the CBD district of Beijing has partly verified this conceptual model.
