Resumo: | The goal of this research is to examine workaholism as far as its antecedents and consequences are concerned. The topic is generally understudied, and therefore the current research explored actors’ subjective views over relevant topics in the area. The current research used the Work Addiction Risk Test (Robinson, 1998) in order to identify workaholics in a cosmetics company. The individuals with the highest scores were later interviewed, in order to understand their accounts and views of the subject matters under study. Results are interesting since they allow building an initial picture of workaholism in the real world. Topics discussed are the concept of workaholism, its causes, its consequences, and what people think of the phenomenon. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v25i1.279 |

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v25i1.279O objectivo deste trabalho é examinar o workaholismo em termos dos seus antecedentes e consequentes. A problemática tem sido pouco tratada na literatura especializada, pelo que a investigação aproveitou esta lacuna para realizar uma análise exploratória de alguns temas associados ao workaholismo. Utilizou?se o Work Addiction Risk Test (Robinson, 1998) para identificar os indivíduos que, numa empresa de cosméticos, maiores valores registaram no teste. Posteriormente, esses indivíduos foram entrevistados, a fim de explorar e conhecer as suas perspectivas relativamente aos conteúdos sob observação. Os resultados encontrados permitem tecer comparações entre o que é proposto na literatura e a realidade prática. O artigo discute a noção de workaholismo, as suas causas, os seus efeitos sobre as pessoas, e a perspectiva dos sujeitos sobre o tópico. Contrastam?se ainda os resultados da fase quantitativa com a fase qualitativa da investigação.
