The present paper encompasses a response to the debate paper by Griffiths et al. about work addiction myths. Generally, we found weak empirical basis for the statement that there exist major myths and controversies regarding work addiction. Although we agree with Griffiths et al. on several issues, we argue that: (a) although work addiction is not a new behavioral addiction, work addiction research is still in its infancy; (b) work addiction is largely similar to other behavioral addictions; (c) work addiction and workaholism are actually the same; and (d) there is no compelling evidence that work addiction occurs before adulthood.
本文回应了 Griffiths 等人关于工作成瘾神话的争议性论文。总的来说，我们发现，关于工作成瘾存在主要神话和争议的说法，其经验依据并不充分。尽管我们在一些问题上与 Griffiths 等人的观点一致，但我们认为：（a）尽管工作成瘾不是一种新的行为成瘾，但工作成瘾研究仍处于起步阶段；（b）工作成瘾在很大程度上与其他行为成瘾相似；（c）工作成瘾和工作狂实际上是一回事；（d）没有确凿的证据表明工作成瘾发生在成年之前。
