Abstract: | Although workaholism in organizations has received considerable attention in the popular press, our understanding of it remains quite limited. This study, using measures developed by Spence and Robbins (J. Personal Assess. 1992; 58: 160–178), examines the relationship of workaholism type to indicators of psychological and physical well‐being. Data were collected from 530 male and female managers and professionals using anonymous questionnaires. The results showed a relationship between workaholism and poorer emotional and physical well‐being. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
