Abstract
Workaholism is employee’s unnecessary deep immersion into his/her work to the extent
that it affects his/her health. Present day work environment and competition foster such
traits that propel an employee to opt for such work style. Current study is about the
predictive relationship of workaholism with work-family conflict and mental well-being
of employees. Participants for present study are from different public and private sector
organizations. The study meets its objectives in two phases; phase I is tryout and phase II
is main study. WorkBat, Work and Family Conflict Scale, and Warwick Edinburgh
Mental Well Being Scale along demographic sheet and consent form are used for data
collection. Besides determining psychometric properties of scales, t-test, correlation
coefficient, and regression analysis are run. Findings of the study reveal significant
positive relationship between workaholim and work-family conflict and significant
negative correlation between workaholism and mental well-being. Significant differences
emerge in study variables with reference to public and private sector, gender, and marital
status. Moreover workaholism significantly predicts work family-conflict and mental
well-being. Study highlights the significant predictive relationship of workaholic trait that
contributes towards raised work-family conflict and poor mental well-being. Limitations
of the study are highlighted and future implications are also discussed
