Engaged workaholics 自愿工作狂

Engaged workaholics are distinct from the classic, compulsively driven worker who can't unplug ever and always feels like he or she should be working and suffer greater-than-average ill effects: more conflicts at work, less job satisfaction, poorer social relationships, more heart attacks, more divorces.

 

“自愿工作狂”（engaged workaholics）与传统意义上的被迫工作狂是完全不同的。被迫工作狂永远没有停下来的时候，而且总是觉得自己应该一直处于工作状态，并由此饱受各类工作狂负面效应的困扰：工作上冲突不断、工作满意度不高、社会关系不佳、心脏病高发、离婚率高。

 

Engaged workaholics may dodge¹ some or all of those nasty repercussions² for one simple reason: They love what they do. They get a kick out of it. They don't feel stressed by it.

 

“自愿工作狂”可以免受上述这些不良效应的困扰，仅仅是因为：他们热爱他们所做的工作。工作时乐在其中，根本不觉得工作是压力。

 

The engaged workaholics didn't have burnout anywhere near the level of the workaholics, suggesting that loving work may buffer³ the stress effects of working too hard. They are people who work really hard but know when to quit.

 

“自愿工作狂”不会有普通工作狂那样的职业倦怠感，这说明对工作的热爱可以抵消工作劳累带来的压力。他们工作非常卖力，但是也知道什么时候该停下来休息。
