Workaholism refers to an excessive and uncontrollable devotion to work, often with an intensity that negatively affects an individual's health, personal life, and interpersonal relationships. This behavior is often associated with a need for approval, insecurity, and a sense of control achieved through work. Well-being encompasses overall physical, mental and social health, including aspects such as mental balance, physical resilience and quality interpersonal relationships. Well-being at work is a critical factor in performance and long-term success. The final sample consisted of 170 participants over the age of 18 working in the private sector who were asked to respond to questions measuring their workaholism (or work addiction) and well- being. The results generally indicated a complex relationship between workaholism and employee well-being. Based on these findings, it is clear that the employees in the sample place an extraordinary amount of importance on their professional lives and obligations. Whether or not they enjoy the nature of their work, and even if they have not consciously evaluated their relationship to work, it appears that work remains a primary concern in their lives.
