On The Job All the Time
You can never work too hard or spend too much time on the job, or can you? Much research has been conducted on this topic and now a new test can determine your level of work addiction.
Understanding a Workaholic
Work is a blessing, whatever type of work we do. We can find satisfaction and self-esteem through performing any task well. Hard work is a worthy character trait. But sometimes, when a good thing gets out of balance, it can become a bad thing. This is true for the workaholic. A healthy commitment to doing something very well can morph into perfectionism which then becomes an obsession and ends in narcissism.
