These two scales and a form to collect demographical variables were administered to 260 workers. Among them the data obtained from 170 workers were evaluated. Parametric tests and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The level of statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: The work enjoyment (WE) scores of independent accountant-financial advisers were higher than those of both civil servants and their employee.

There were positive correlations between WE score of workaholism scale and control and just-right scores.
