Excessive work can be viewed as an addictive behavior, and, as such, it will have a negative impact on the setting in which it occurs, as well as on the individual. This change in perspective is needed to address dysfunctional behavior patterns that interfere with organizational operations. Similarities with other addictions include identity issues, rigid thinking, withdrawal, progressive involvement, and denial. These factors influence decision making and goals of the workaholic. They also interfere with effectiveness by distorting interpersonal relations. Suggestions for further research build on established organizational topics that coincide with characteristics of an addictive pattern.
过度工作可被视为一种成瘾行为,如此一来,它会对其发生的环境以及个人产生负面影响。需要这种视角的转变来解决干扰组织运作的功能失调行为模式。与其他成瘾行为的相似之处包括身份认同问题、僵化思维、回避、渐进式投入和否认。这些因素影响工作狂的决策和目标。它们还通过扭曲人际关系来干扰工作效率。进一步研究的建议基于与成瘾模式特征相符的既定组织主题。
