Abstract

The Work Addiction Risk Test (WART) was designed to measure “workaholism.” The present study examines the underlying dimensions of the WART and investigated the accuracy of the WART scores to discriminate between workaholics and a control group. The results suggest that workaholism, as measured by the WART, includes five dimensions: (a) Compulsive Tendencies, (b) Control, (c) Impaired Communication/Self-Absorption, (d) Inability to Delegate, and (e) Self-Worth were developed from the factor analysis. A discriminant analysis that used the subscale scores as the independent variables and group membership (workaholic or control group) as the dependent variable indicated that the first three subscales provided the greatest distinction between the groups, with a 88.5% correct classification rate. A discriminant analysis that used the total WART score as the independent variable and group membership as the dependent variable had an 86.4% correct classification rate.
