Abstract

The present study aims to explain the effect of attachment styles on workaholismand engaging in work among teachers at different educational levels. The population included all male and female teachers in different schools of Lahijan. According to the nature of this study, 215 teachers from different schools of Lahijan were selected as the sample amounting to 443 teachers. For the analysis of demographic variables and their measurement, descriptive statistics and SPSS software were used as well as inferential statistics. Data analysis and the hypothesis-testing were performed using structural equation modelling based on partial least squares using Smartpls software. The results of fitting the research model showed that unsafe attachment has a positive effect on workaholism and has a reciprocal effect on engagement at work. The results also revealed that the secure attachment style of teachers on engagement in work has a direct effect on workaholism.  Also, the results of the study showed that the secure attachment style of teachers on work engagement has a direct effect on workaholism to work and has a reverse effect on workaholism to work.
