| This is a discussion of two major concepts common in the popular parlance; workaholism and life
balance. Related research and assumptions underlying each are presented along with a discussion of
how the two concepts relate to each other and to well-being. This review f inds that workaholism can
be described as a form of life imbalance when viewed from several different theoretical perspectives.
Although workaholism and life balance concepts are widely used with growing evidence suggesting
negative consequence of workaholism on life balance and personal and family well-being, there is no
conclusive evidence linking them. This review of literature calls for additional research about the
relationship of workaholism to life balance and personal and family well-being.
