Abstract

This paper investigates workaholism, initially identified as an uncontrollable urge to work incessantly, evolving from a positive work ethic to a recognized psychological and behavioral disorder. It explores the nuanced development of workaholism, examining its transition within professional and psychological contexts. The paper delves into the psychological factors contributing to workaholism, such as inherent personality traits and examines the role of organizational environments and societal norms in fostering workaholic behaviors. It highlights how specific workplace cultures and societal attitudes towards productivity and achievement can exacerbate workaholic tendencies. The article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of workaholism's psychological, behavioral, and socio-cultural dimensions, emphasizing the need for a shift towards balanced and sustainable work practices in modern professional environments to address workaholism and enhance overall workforce well-being and productivity.
