THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKAHOLISM AND WORKFAMILY CONFLICT

The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between workaholism and work-family conflict. Previous studies concluded the possible relationship between workaholism and work-family conflict, in which workaholics experience higher conflict in their personal lives. The study was conducted among the workers in the Republic of North Macedonia. 80 workers from different sectors participated in the survey. 42 of them were male and 38 were female. Participants were mostly between 18-25 years old (with the total number of 41). 10 of the participants were between 26-35 years old while 16 of the total participants were between 36-45 years old. Only 13 of the participants were 45 years old or above. In the survey, Multidimensional Workaholism Scale (MWS) and Work and Family Conflict Scale (WAFCS) was used. According to the results, there is a positive and significant relationship between workaholism and work to family conflict. Also, according to the results there is a positive and significant relationship between workaholism and family to work conflict. However, while workaholism and work to family is strongly correlated, workaholism and family to work conflict is moderately correlated.
