"The book deals with the concept of Heavy Work Investment (HWI) recently initiated by Snir and Harpaz. Since its introduction the interest in the general HWI model has increased considerably. The book illustrates the development of HWI conceptualization, theory, and research. It deals with the foremost HWI subtype of workaholism. However, it also compares workaholism as a "negative" HWI subtype with work devotion/passion/engagement, as a "positive" HWI subtype. Most importantly, it addresses HWI in general, including its possible situational subtypes. In view of Snir and Harpaz's claim that the study of situational heavy work investors is relatively scarce, this certainly constitutes a promising step in the right direction. Finally, it deals with timely and important topics examined by prominent international researchers on Heavy Work Investment and such issues as: personality factors of workaholism, work-life balance, cross-cultural similarities and differences in HWI, work addiction and technology, HWI and retirement, and intergenerational similarity in work investment"- Provided by publisher.

"While the idea of workaholism and the economic pressures to work harder and longer have been around for some time, this will be one of the first comprehensive volumes to look at this topic with a new lens called Heavy Work Investment (HWI) and offer research on the contributing factors to its nature, sources outcomes and future. Chapters on Work family issues, cross national political and economic realities, depression and suicide aspects of workaholism with positive aspects and work ethics also included will make this an interesting book for all students of Industrial Organizational psychology, organizational behaviour and human resource management"--Provided by publisher.
