In questa tesi si analizza un fenomeno emerso negli anni `70 e ormai diffuso nella società moderna: il Workaholism o Dipendenza da lavoro. Il Workaholism è una ¿malattia¿ dovuta all'assuefazione ad elevati ritmi lavorativi e che riduce la professione a una vera e propria dipendenza. Il workaholic trasforma il posto di lavoro nell'unico luogo in cui poter esercitare il controllo della situazione sentendosi sempre all'altezza del compito, con la convinzione che solo il lavoro, indispensabile, può risolvere i problemi o soddisfare i propri bisogni. La tesi è divisa in tre parti. Nella prima si analizza il significato che il lavoro ha assunto nel tempo e le Nuove Dipendenze di cui la società soffre. La seconda parte è incentrata sul Workaholism, qui vengono descritti i modelli teorici alla base della Dipendenza, le tipologie di workaholic, le cause, le conseguenze, la prevenzione e la cura del fenomeno, e infine gli strumenti utilizzati per rilevarlo e misurarlo. La terza e ultima parte descrive la Ricerca effettuata su un campione di docenti dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, in particolare sui docenti di Psicologia tra i quali si è cercato di indagare il fenomeno del Workaholism.
This dissertation to analyze a phenomenon started in the 1970s which is so deeply rooted in our society by now, that is: Workaholism or Work Addiction. Workaholism is an 'illness' that stems from the addiction to high pace of work and makes the profession as a real addiction. A workaholic individual transforms his or her workplace in the only place where he or she can exert control and feel up to the situation, workaholics are convinced that work is the only necessary way to solve their problems and satisfy their needs. My dissertation is divided into three parts. The first part of my thesis analyzed the meaning that work has come to acquire over the years and the New Addictions society presently suffers from. The second part describes the theoretical models that stand at the roots of this addiction, the various types of workaholic subject, the causes and consequences of this illness, as well as how to prevent and cure it, and, finally, the instruments used to observe and measure this phenomenon.
