Abstract 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 finds 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.
