Abstract: The present study has been designed to examine the impact of
different components of workaholism on employee well-being both at
professional and personal front. Data was collected from 100 employees
working in public and private sector banks of Jammu (India). Six dependent

career satisfaction, family satisfaction, job satisfaction and mental, spiritual and
emotional well-being were regressed with working excessively, working

interference and family to work interference is positively correlated with
working excessively and combined workaholism whereas, family satisfaction
and mental, spiritual and emotional well-being is negatively correlated with
combined workaholism and working excessively workaholism. The study has
