It can fuel a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. And we get paid for it and praised for it, which produces good feelings we may not necessarily be able to attain in other parts of our lives.
Workaholism is a problem that has been evident since the Stone Age - whenever people have sought to escape other parts of their lives through work. Our parents and grandparents worked very hard, but theirs was more of physical work. Ours has more stress in it, especially in these days of rising competition and shrinking companies. The companies are getting smaller and smaller because of bleak economic conditions and employees fear for their jobs - so they work longer hours.
它可以激發(fā)一種自我價值和成就感,而且我們還能因此得到報酬和表揚,這會給我們帶來我們不一定能從生活的其他方面獲得的良好感覺。
工作狂自石器時代起就成了一個很明顯的問題了──每當有人試圖通過工作來逃避他們生活中的某些方面時,這個問題就出現(xiàn)了。我們的父母和祖輩們工作都很努力,但是他們的勞動基本上是體力勞動。而我們的工作則壓力更大,尤其是在當今競爭日趨激烈、公司規(guī)模日趨縮小的時代。由于經濟形勢暗淡,公司不斷裁員,雇員擔心失去工作,因此他們工作時間更長。
