Abstract
The topic of workaholism in organizations has received considerable attention in the popular media although our understanding of it is still quite limited. Most definitions of workaholism convey the notion of singular commitment to work to the detriment of extra‐work activities. This study, using measures developed by Spence and Robbins (1992), examines the relationship of workaholism type to measures of extra‐work satisfactions (family, friends, community). Data were collected from 530 women and men managers and professionals using anonymous questionnaires. The results showed the hypothesized negative relationship between workaholism and extra‐work satisfactions. Implications for reducing workaholic behaviors are offered.
