Individuals in managerial and professional jobs are now working longer hours for a variety of reasons. Building on previous research on workaholism and on types of passion, the results of an exploratory study of correlates of work-based passion and addiction are presented. Data were collected from 530 Canadian managers and professionals, MBA graduates of a single university, using anonymously completed questionnaires. The following results were noted. First, scores on passion and addiction were significantly and positively correlated. Second, managers scoring higher on passion and on addiction were both more heavily invested in their work. Third, managers scoring higher on passion also indicated less obsessive job behaviors, greater work and extrawork satisfactions, and higher levels of psychological well-being. Fourth, managers scoring higher on addiction indicated more obsessive job behaviors, lower work and extrawork satisfactions, and lower levels of psychological well-being. Fifth, managers scoring higher on addiction saw their world in dog-eat-dog terms and their organizational cultures as less supportive of work—personal life balance; this pattern was in the opposite direction among managers scoring higher on passion
