Workaholics from Universities of Multan District
One of the significant sources of competitive advantage for an organization is its human capital. Focusing on
human capital, the purpose of the study was to explore the effect of intrinsic motivation, self-esteem, and
external and internal locus of control on the personal well-being through the mediating effect of workaholism.
A person when working for the organizational well being is a possibility that he/she may become workaholic
but when they are working for their personal well-being do they get demotivated on work through
workaholism or not. Exploratory factor analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation
modeling were carried out to test the hypothesized relationships in the data provided by 348 administrative
staff of the Universities of Multan District.
This study provides novel insight into the understanding of role of Workaholism towards personal well-being.

its negative out comes on life satisfaction of employees. This study adds new evidences which report that
Workaholism nullifies the positive impact of important predictor of well being. The new relationships add
significantly to the understanding Workaholism.
