Due to this they are getting addicted to work. Addiction to work is a new concept and the effect of work addiction is more severe than the people realize. Keeping this in view, the paper attempts to throw light on the underlying dimensions of work addiction and depicts the consequences of work addiction. The study also suggests some preventive and remedial measures to overcome/reduce the outcomes of this addiction to work.
