Workaholics: to work or not to work?

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics. Workaholism means that you value work over any other activity, even when it negatively affects your health and family, as well as the quality of your work. On the other hand, there are many people who put in long hours, but still give back to their loved ones and enjoy outside activities when they have free time. These people are hard workers, not workaholics. There is a very serious distinction between the two.

When work becomes all consuming and joyless – that is, you go well beyond what’s necessary and have no other interests or activities – it becomes a negative addiction. Their work addiction is a recurring obsession, and typically joyless.

These days too many people are being labelled (or labelling themselves) “workaholics” just for putting in a few extra hours per week. The truth is that in this poor economy, many of these people are working extra hard just to keep their jobs. Real workaholics have few (if any) outside interests. They let their family lives fall apart. They often have health problems and suffer from depression and deep insecurities. Like any destructive addiction, they repeat destructive behaviors despite knowing that they’re destructive. Many would like to stop, but find it difficult or impossible to do so.

There are key differences between hard workers and workaholics. If hard workers think of work as a required and (at times) pleasurable obligation, workaholics see it as a way to distance themselves from unwanted feelings and relationships. Family and friends are important to hard workers, whereas workaholics believe that work is more important than anything else in their lives. Hard workers can take breaks from work while workaholics can’t because they think about work regardless of what they’re doing or who they’re with.

The difference between hard workers and workaholics may more correctly be understood when we look at that person’s motivation to work. The researchers found that people work hard for different reasons. Hard work could be looked upon favourably as it brings financial rewards, or enjoyment. It can also be looked upon by someone as giving good opportunities to lead an active social life. However true workaholics work just for work’s sake.

There are also people who work hard simply because they love what they do. Barbara Woods is Executive Director of Casa Palmera, an organisation providing psychological and medical help to men, women and their family members suffering from addictions and behavioral health disorders in San Diego. After an injury, Barbara’s friends suggested she take time off to heal. Her response: “I thought about it, but I just love my job. I can’t wait to get to work. I know I work long hours and people think I’m a workaholic, but I get such joy out of my work. I feel like I’m doing something important.” While it’s true that Barbara works up to 80 hours a week, she’s also engaged with her sons, has many friends and is happy and healthy, so she is likely not a workaholic. Barbara simply is one of those fortunate people who work hard because they truly love their job.

The evidence is clear that being a workaholic leads to serious physical problems. Don’t risk your life for your job! The key is to understand that job performance is more than normal hard work. It’s a real – and dangerous – addiction.
