This article presents the results of correlation studies on the General Beliefs About Work Scale (GBWS) of the Working Excessively Questionnaire (WEQ), developed by Hornowska and Paluchowski (2007). GBWS consists of items describing possible beliefs about work. Many of them refer to the attitude towards the working hours. The results of the GBWS may be used to fi nd internal factors that contribute to excessive workload. Our aim was to analyze the psychological correlates of a belief that work defi nes the value of a person. We formulated hypotheses concerning the relationship between the GBWS and constructs like attachment style, temperament traits, hope for success, self-esteem and demographic data.
