Addiction has as important characteristics the compulsion, or a need that cannot be controlled, and the excessive amount of hours worked, however the fact that the worker works excessively for external factors such as family problems, financial issues or organizational pressures, does not characterizes the work addiction. In addition, with the new world economic scenario and the decline of the traditional career model, new ways of thinking about professional development trajectories appear, such as Protean Career Orientation, with self-management characteristics, allowing greater autonomy on planning the professional development. Therefore, understanding these relationships is interesting for organizations in order to avoid or reduce conflicts between them, such as the conflict between the roles played in the family context and that of work, allowing improvements in efficiency, motivation and performance of workers. The present study is structured in the format of two articles, the first with the procedure of adaptation to the Brazilian context of the Bergen Work Addiction Scale, and the second with the analysis of mediation between the constructs of Work Addiction, Protean Career Orientation and Work-Family Conflict and correlations between these constructs and the amount of hours worked and the perception of financial responsibility. The adapted scale presented adequate reliability indexes of Alpha and McDonald types, an adequate unidimensional factorial structure and the correlation index with another scale that evaluates the same construct was strong and significant. In addition, the scale showed psychometric indices close to the original instrument. Correlations were also found between protean characteristics and Work Addiction, as well as significant mediation effects of addiction in the relationship between Protean Career Orientation and Work-Family Conflict. The data found corroborate the hypotheses that Work Addiction plays a mediating role in this relationship. At the end, the study presents relevant discussions about the relevance of the adapted scale and the proposed mediation model, as well as the limitations of the current study and possible directions for future researches
