Workaholism among women managers: personal and workplace correlates

Abstract

Examines potential individual difference and work culture correlates of workaholism in organizational settings. Data were collected from 251 women MBA graduates in managerial and professional roles using anonymous questionnaires. Workaholism types were determined using measures developed by Spence and Robbins. Three personal beliefs and fears identified by Price in her cognitive social learning model of Type A behavior were assessed along with organizational values supporting work‐personal life balance. Significant workaholism type effects were present in both individual difference and work culture measures.
