Workaholism: A New Challenge for Organisation Management

A serious analysis of an unhealthy organisation, which encourages work addiction, can reveal communication issues, unsolved or unknown conflicts, unrealistic tasks or deadlines, a poor management, a poor control of the leadership, high-level stress. To workaholics, the organisation is the place where work becomes obsessive and the other sides of personal life suffer. Work addiction is regarded as being negative, at individual and organisational level, a failure to management that cannot cope correctly with employee problems. By using secondary data analysis, case study we will try to grasp the specificity of the phenomena. Should we think of layoffs, increased unemployment, lack of working place certainty, we find these as being far more serious than working after hours. Modern organisations are confronted with new challenges which organisational management must properly manage. And sometimes the solutions are not so hard to find unless we find the equilibrium in all we do.
