目的：本文讨论了过度和强迫性工作的稳定趋势（即，工作狂）。其主要目的是提供一个最新的监督有关的定义，患病率，评估，原因，结果，干预以及拟议的未来研究方向的研究领域。目标人群是研究人员和临床医生。方法：通过文献回顾，对研究结果进行分析。结果：对工作狂的研究在过去二十年中有所扩大。已经开发了几种识别工作狂的筛选工具。其中绝大多数都基于看似非理论的基础，彼此之间以及与相关结构之间缺乏收敛有效性。研究普遍表明，工作狂与健康和福祉受损以及工作和家庭生活之间的冲突有关。工作狂可能是由一系列因素引起和维持的，尽管目前还缺乏坚实的经验基础来支持这些因素。到目前为止，还没有对工作狂进行过评估的干预措施。结论：目前，工作狂作为一个结构缺乏概念和经验的清晰度。未来的研究工作应优先考虑纵向研究以及纳入无偏见的研究，健康和行为的坚定参数。
Aims: This article addresses the stable tendency of excessive and compulsive working (i.e., workaholism). The main aim is to provide an updated oversight of the research area related to definition, prevalence, assessment, causes, outcomes, intervention as well as proposed future research directions. The target-population is both researchers and clinicians. Methods: The findings are identified by narratively reviewing the literature. Results: Research into workaholism has expanded over the last two decades. Several screening instruments to identify workaholics have been developed. The vast majority of these are based on seemingly atheoretical foundations, lacking convergent validity with each other and with related constructs. Research generally shows that workaholism is related to impaired health and well-being as well as to conflicts between work and family life. Workaholism is probably caused and maintained by a range of factors, although solid empirical underpinnings for suggested antecedents are currently sparse. So far no well-evaluated interventions for workaholism exist. Conclusions: At present, workaholism as a construct lacks conceptual and empirical clarity. Future research efforts should prioritize longitudinal studies as well as studies incorporating unbiased, firm parameters of both health and behavior.
