Workaholism in organizations: the role of organizational values
Workaholism has received considerable attention in the popular media but little research consideration. This study, using measures of workaholic and non-workaholic type developed by Spence and Robbins, examines the relationship of workaholic type and organizational values supporting work-personal life balance. Data were collected from 530 women and men MBA graduates inprofessional and managerial jobs using questionnaires. The results showed that organizational values supporting work- personal life imbalance were significantly higher in workaholic than non-workaholic types. Practical implications for organizations and management are offered.
