The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between emotion- and cognition components within personal- and collective work identity, and exhaustion. A quantitative method was used, and questionnaires was sent out to employees in the construction industry. Using 2 hierarchical multiple regression analyzes and 149 employees who participated in the study the emotional component (p=.002) of personal work identity and the cognition (p=.04) component in collective work identity showed a negative relationship to exhaustion, indicating that individuals with a strong work identity based on these components show a decreased level of exhaustion. The cognition component (p=<.001) of personal work identity and the emotion component (p=.02) of collective work identity showed a positive relationship to exhaustion, indicating that individuals with a strong work identity based on these components show an increased level of exhaustion. However, the analysis of the collective work identity did not show a significant support for the model as a whole, which indicates that these results should be interpreted with caution.
