Abstract

An individual must give importance to both work and life. They both are the two sides of a ‘balance’. But, in today's competitive world, this balance is missing. The priorities of the life have changed. A workaholic person is obsessed with the work. Though it may connote the positive attitude towards the work and to the organization but the research has marked the negative side of such an attitude which suggests distortion of the reality entailing personal and professional loss. This paper is based on review of literature describes workaholism, its consequences and provides suggestions to restoring balance for a workaholic.
