HR Research Topics: The Downside to Workaholism

Are workaholics hurting your organization? 🤔 I used to think my workaholic dad was just a hard worker providing for our family. Turns out there's a difference between being busy and being a workaholic - and the implications for workplaces are pretty surprising. Dr. Catherine Connelly from McMaster University joined me to discuss her fascinating research on how workaholism affects organizational ethics. Spoiler alert: your most dedicated employees might actually be the ones cutting corners. What we cover: The difference between working hard and workaholism Why workaholics are more likely to morally disengage at work How tunnel vision can lead to ethical blind spots The "idiosyncrasy credits" phenomenon - when high performers get a pass Red flags to watch for in interviews and references Building systems that support ethical decision-making Key takeaway: Just because someone works 80-hour weeks doesn't mean they're your best employee. Sometimes the people most invested in "organizational success" are the ones who'll justify cutting ethical corners to get there. This has implications for dealing with high performers who seem untouchable or trying to build truly ethical workplace cultures. Find Dr. Connelly's research: connellyresearch.com (it's open source!)
