Summary
Drawing on achievement goal theory and the dualistic model of passion, this study identifies (1) mastery versus performance climate as the contextual antecedent for harmonious versus ...obsessive passion, respectively, and (2) proactive versus pro‐job unethical behavior as the outcome of harmonious versus obsessive passion, respectively. Results from two studies—a survey study with 259 leader–subordinate dyads and an experimental study with 174 part‐time master's‐level students—largely supported our theoretical model. First, employees develop harmonious passion when they perceive the presence of a mastery climate, but develop obsessive passion when they perceive the presence of a performance climate. Second, harmonious passion mediates the positive effect of mastery climate on employees' proactive work behavior, whereas obsessive passion mediates the positive effect of performance climate on employees' pro‐job unethical behavior. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are also discussed.
In this article associated with the Gold Medal Award from the Canadian Psychological Association, I present an overview of research on the concept of passion that has been conducted by my research ...team and I over the past 20 years. Such research subscribes to an organismic view of the human condition wherein people are seen as active agents, who strive for self-growth and optimal functioning. The dualistic model of passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) posits that passion provides the power to seek and reach self-growth, as well as perils in this quest for self-growth. We first present the dualistic model of passion and then research in a variety of contexts and activities that substantiates this claim on the duality of passion. In so doing, it is shown that not all passions are equal and that some of them (harmonious passion) foster self-growth and optimal functioning more than others (obsessive passion). Some conclusions are offered.
Dans cet article associé à la médaille d'or de la Société canadienne de psychologie, je présente une vue d'ensemble des recherches sur le concept de la passion que mon équipe de recherche et moi-même avons menées au cours des 20 dernières années. Ces recherches s'inscrivent dans une vision organismique de la condition humaine, dans laquelle les individus sont considérés comme des agents actifs qui s'efforcent de se développer et de fonctionner de manière optimale. Le modèle dualiste de la passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) postule que la passion fournit le pouvoir de rechercher et d'atteindre l'épanouissement personnel, ainsi que les dangers dans cette quête d'épanouissement personnel. Nous présentons d'abord le modèle dualiste de la passion, puis les recherches menées dans divers contextes et activités qui étayent cette affirmation sur la dualité de la passion. Ce faisant, nous montrons que toutes les passions ne sont pas égales et que certaines d'entre elles (la passion harmonieuse) favorisent l'épanouissement personnel et un fonctionnement optimal plus que d'autres (la passion obsessive). Quelques conclusions sont proposées.
Public Significance Statement
In everyday life, it is typically assumed that passion for an activity leads to adaptive outcomes. In this article, I present over 20 years of research that shows that two types of passion exist: harmonious (where the passion is under the person's control) and obsessive (where the passion controls the person). Whereas harmonious passion typically leads to adaptive outcomes, obsessive passion is associated with much less positive and at times maladaptive outcomes. Such distinction is fundamental to better understand the role of passion and associated processes in a variety of intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, and intergroup outcomes.

This paper enriches the literature on entrepreneurial decision-making logic by investigating nascent entrepreneurs' use of effectuation and causation. The configurational effect of passion, ...entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and risk perception is tested for causal and effectual decision-making. The results, based on data gathered from 50 nascent entrepreneurs, show that, more than passion, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and risk perception alone, it is their combination that leads to the use of a causal and an effectual logic. This fsQCA-based study thereby helps unravel some of the complexities behind entrepreneurs' choice of decision-making logic.
Purpose: Passion is essential for effective and high-quality teaching. A passionate teacher is one with the updated growing knowledge inspiring the students in a classroom, by making learning ...excited. The objective of the study was to analyze whether the teachers were teaching out-of-field and to analyze what type of passion influences them. Design/methodology/approach: 241 teachers working in Higher Education Institutions in Oman participate in the survey. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings: The empirical results reveal that the teachers sometimes do out-of-field teaching. The Basic Passion qualities and Harmonious Passion qualities help to improve the Effects of Passion based learning in classroom teaching. It is also revealed that the teachers need to increase Harmonious passion rather than Obsessive passion as it might result in burnout or disengagement in the long run. Practical Implications: The study suggested that the teachers should make emotional attachments with the students, not to criticize anyone, rather encourage them for innovation & creativity, and should allow enough time to learn by making a conducive environment. Originality/value: The research work is of its first kind as it focuses on the impact of Passion-based teaching in the classroom using the SEM-PLS approach which has suggested means for effective teaching.
We integrate research in work passion, social influence, and social networks to examine whether work passion can be contagious and “spread” to others, such that an employee's passion is influenced by ...the broader social milieu to become more similar to that of a social referent. We investigate formal (supervisory) and informal (trust-based) referents, and also consider direct and indirect (through common third-parties) avenues through which passion contagion may occur. Using data from 70 full-time employees (providing 4830 pairwise observations) in a non-profit organization, we found that respondents' harmonious passion was more similar to that of people they trusted, but their obsessive passion was less similar to that of the same referents. Respondents who had similar trust relationships to third parties also reported less similar harmonious passion. For both forms of passion, we did not find evidence that employees' passion was related to that of their supervisors, or of coworkers who shared the same supervisor. Overall, the findings provide nuanced insights into whether and which workplace relationships have a role in shaping one's harmonious and obsessive work passion. In doing so, this study contributes to the work passion literature by extending the limited body of works on passion antecedents and the social aspects of passion.

Brand passion is increasingly seen as the ultimate emotional connection between the consumer and a brand. Limited previous research relied exclusively on Sternberg's triangular interpersonal theory ...in developing the brand passion concept. This research paper integrates consumer brand identity theory, refines the definition of brand passion, and proposes a dualistic approach to brand passion which distinguishes between two different types of brand passion: harmonious and obsessive.
Four separate studies confirm the existence of harmonious and obsessive passion in a consumer–brand context and begin to develop a nomological network of both antecedent and outcome variables for each type of brand passion. This research demonstrates that the conceptualization of consumer passion for a brand is much more complex than previously suggested.
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of entrepreneurial passion and in doing so explores the relationship between harmonious and obsessive passion (OP) and resilience. A pathway ...between passion and entrepreneurial success (ES) that is mediated by sustained entrepreneurial commitment (SEC) and resilience is tested.
Design/methodology/approach
An online questionnaire survey was completed by (n=215) Australian entrepreneurs. Results were based on structural equation modelling analysis.
Findings
Harmonious passion contributes directly and indirectly to perceptions of ES through resilience; OP contributes to SEC which contributes to success through resilience.
Research limitations/implications
Limitations stem from the survey methodology used. Implications for incorporating harmonious and OP into training to ensure well developed entrepreneurs are raised.
Originality/value
This study is one of the few studies to test the theoretical constructs of passion and resilience in the entrepreneurship context, and seemingly the first to do so on an Australian sample of entrepreneurs. This research finds that both types of passion are important to individual level resilience and ultimately to ES. An OP for one’s venture is an important contributor to persisting with the venture.
