Abstract: Employees satisfaction at work becomes a focal point in research and in organizational psychology discussions because, as studies show, it has a great impact on performance. We assumed that: there is a significantly positive correlation between the level of work addiction and the work commitment and that there is a significantly negative correlation between the level of work addiction and the couple satisfaction (a high level of workaholism - involves a low level of satisfaction in couple). In our research, we investigated 70 participants, 35 male participants and 35 female participants aged between 21 and 48 years (average = 30.54 years old), the level of studies being average and high (23 participants have average education and 47 participants have higher education). The tools we used for the current study are: Work Addiction Risk Test – WART, The Couple satisfaction scale (Dyadic Adjustment Scale), The work engagement scale Scala (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale – UWES).The research results showed that the scores at the workaholism variable are associated with scores at the work commitment variable and we obtained a correlation coefficient r = 0.429, at 99% confidence level, p 0.01). Also, the results showed that there is a significantly negative correlation between the level of work addiction and the couple satisfaction (a high level of work addiction - involves a low level of satisfaction in the couple), the correlation is negative at a level of r = -0.285, significant at a level of 0.05.
