Workaholism is related to experiencing high negative emotions, the inability to control them, and poor psychological well-being. One of the possible countermeasures against the risk of workaholism can be purpose in life. According to Frankl and Yalom, the feeling that life has a meaning or purpose prevents an individual from experiencing meaninglessness. Purpose in life is considered to be closely associated with mood and well-being and has been proven to act as a countermeasure against depression. participants and procedureThe goal of our study was to analyze the relation between workaholism, perception of purpose in life, and social support among women. Two hundred and sixty female professionals took part in the study. They occupied either specialist or managerial positions in their companies, which implies being highly committed to professional roles. Two sociodemographic variables were included in the analysis as significant moderators of the relation studied, namely family status: whether or not women had children, and marital status. We used the following analytical methods: Robinson's Work Addiction Risk Test (WART, adapted from English by K. Wojdylo), the Purpose-in-Life Test developed by Crumbaugh and Maholick, and Schwarzer's and Schulz's Berlin Social Support Scales. resultsStatistical analysis allowed us to test a model, which proved the existence of a significant relation between "social support" and "purpose in life" variables. The results also indicate a dependency between "purpose in life" and "workaholism" -higher scores in "purpose in life" correspond to lower results in "workaholism". Additionally, "purpose in life" can be considered a partial mediator between "social support" and "workaholism". conclusionsThe direct results prove that social programs aimed at reducing the risk of workaholism by strengthening social support networks can be both effective, e.g. for mothers who work professionally, and ineffective, e.g. for women who do not have children.key words social support; women; workaholism; purpose in life; compulsion to work

“…Participants who were able to balance family and work found that it was very helpful in maintaining their health (Hibbard & Pope, 1991;Lahelma, Arber, Kivel, & Roos, 2002), enhanced feelings of happiness (Baruch & Barnett, 1986), pro-moted women's self-esteem (Pietromonaco, Manis, & Frohardt-Lane, 1986;Reitzes & Mutran, 1994), allowed women to feel easily satisfied with their work and life (Adams, King, & King, 1996;Schoon, Hansson, & Salmela-Aro, 2005), and helped them discover that their family role could buffer stress that was related to their jobs (Barnett, Marshall, & Singer, 1992). In addition, Gottman (1999) found that a harmonious relationship was an important foundation in a successful marriage.…”

The authors investigated the effectiveness of a Strength‐Centered Career Adjustment Model for dual‐career women (N = 28). Fourteen women in the experimental group received strength‐centered career counseling for 6 to 8 sessions; the 14 women in the control group received test services in 1 to 2 sessions. All participants completed the Personal Growth Initiative Scale (PGIS), Job Satisfaction Inventory (JSI), and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) before and after the counseling sessions or test services. Analysis of covariance indicated that there were significant differences between the scores of the experimental and the control group on the PGIS and SWLS but not on the JSI.

“…Role Accumulation and Self-Complexity Theory propose that individuals who have multiple identities have a more complex self that buffers against stress-related illness and depression (Linville, 1987). Possessing a larger number of identities has also been shown to lead to better psychological health outcomes such as increased self-efficacy (Adelmann, 1994a), higher self-esteem and life and job satisfaction (Miller, Moen, & DempsterMcClain, 1991;Pietromonaco, Manis, & Frohardt-Lane, 1986), and multiple opportunities to gain social support (Hong & Seltzer, 1995). Furthermore, having a greater number of identities has been demonstrated to lower psychological distress and anxiety (Thoits, 1983(Thoits, , 1986, decrease health interference (Coleman, Antonucci, & Adelmann, 1987), lower rates of depression (Adelmann, 1994b;Gore & Mangione, 1983;Kandel, Davies & Raveis, 1985;Thoits, 1983) reduce marital-induced stress (Kandel et al, 1985), and diminish rates of psychological disorders (Sachs-Ericsson & Ciarlo, 2000).…”
