Author:

Burke Ronald J.

Abstract

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.
