Abstract
In this timely piece, we delve into the potential downside of remote work: workaholism. We explore the nuanced relationship between remote work environments and workaholic behavior based on data we collected from over 150 remote work professionals who transitioned from office to remote work during COVID-19 restrictions.
Our findings show how highly conscientious employees in low situational strength environments may be particularly susceptible to overworking and burning out while working remotely. We also outline practical strategies managers can implement to support their teams and prevent workaholism from taking hold.
