🚀 Redefining Work Engagement for the Modern Leader: Discerning the True "Workaholic"
🚀 Redefining Work Engagement for the
Modern Leader: Discerning the True "Workaholic"
The latest research, particularly
driven by key measurement tools like the Bergen Workaholism Scale
(Norway), defines its core essence as lying in an internal compulsion
and the difficulty of mental detachment from work.
📊 Self-Screening Tool: Workaholism
Tendency (Based on the Bergen Work Addiction Scale)
Please evaluate the degree to which
each of the following statements applies to your current situation. This
tendency is an indicator of psychological well-being, separate from
productivity or efficiency.

✅ Evaluation and Implications for
Leadership Practice
1. The Warning Line: A Score of
"4" or "5" on a Single Item
- Implication: If you
select "4" (Often) or "5" (Always) on a single item,
an unhealthy pattern may already be forming in that specific aspect of
workaholism (e.g., thought fixation or compulsiveness).
- Implication for Leaders: You
must deepen your reflection to see if this singular tendency is
manifesting as a decline in decision quality or as imposing excessive
expectations on team members.
2. The Area for Improvement: A Total
Score of 15 or Higher
- Implication: A
total score of 15 or higher suggests you exhibit a significant
workaholism tendency based on the latest evidence. This poses a major
risk to sustainable career longevity and long-term well-being.
- Implication for Leaders: Your
behavior may be unintentionally exerting shadow leadership,
fostering a culture where excessive hours are implicitly approved across
the organization. The urgent need is for the conscious setting of boundaries
and the implementation of recovery strategies.
🌟 The Next Step: "Healthy
Disconnection" Strategies Practiced by Global Leaders
True work engagement is built upon a
healthy balance between passion for work and self-resilience. Tomorrow, we will
discuss evidence-based practical strategies to channel this workaholism
tendency into positive outcomes and establish sustainable balance for both the
team and yourself.
- Strategy Example:
Transition from merely "Digital Detox" to practicing "Strategic
and Intentional Disconnection."
- Strategy Example:
Securing Personal Time: Introducing frameworks that embed "Recovery"
as an integral part of the operational process.
Like you, I was once labeled a
"workaholic." The latest research and my own journey reveal a
critical truth: sustainable growth requires a trusted partner to guide
healthy "disconnection" and self-reflection.
