Work and Motivation Passion and Psychological Well-Being Recently, Vallerand (2012) proposed that engaging in a passionate activity on a regular basis has the potential to not only provide a boost in psychological well-being but also to lead to sustainable gains in well-being. In a nutshell, the rationale behind this hypothesis rests on three elements. First, passion for the activity is important because it is the motivational force that leads the person to engage in the activity on a regular basis. This is the sustainable part. Continued ... Passion for a given activity leads the person to return to the activity regularly. Second, the type of effects that will be experienced during activity engagement depends on the type of passion. Much research in a variety of life domains, including work, reveals that harmonious passion leads the person to experience a number of positive affective experiences (e.g., positive emotions, task satisfaction) during task engagement and may even serve to protect against negative task experiences. Typically, obsessive passion induces little positive experiences and may even facilitate negative experiences (e.g., Mageau & Vallerand, 2007; Vallerand et al., 2003, Studies 1 and 2; Vallerand et al., 2006, Studies 2 and 3; see also Vallerand, 2008, 2010 for reviews). Continued... This is the quality part of the equation. Finally, in line with the Broaden-and-Build theory (Fredrickson, 2001), much research reveals that such positive affective experiences facilitate psychological well-being because they expand the self and broaden one’s repertoire of skills. This is the function part of the equation. Thus, overall, it is proposed that the high quality of affective experiences that one derives from having a harmonious passion for an activity serves a purpose because it facilitates one’s psychological well-being at the short-term level. Furthermore, because one’s passion for the activity leads us to re-engage in the activity on a regular basis, these short-term gains in well- being do not disappear as they are experienced regularly and thus are sustained over time at the long-term level.
