Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Referring to Ten myths about work addiction reviewed by Griffiths, Demetrovics, and Atroszko in the Journal of Behavioral Addiction, three postulates were proposed to apply in future research on work addiction: (a) the clinical psychology perspective, (b) the systems approach, and (c) diversified and adequate methodologies. METHODS: In a narrative review, using theoretical assumptions and empirical data, postulates were discussed against myths. RESULTS: The opportunities offered by the perspectives and new insights related to myths were presented. CONCLUSION: It appears that the three postulates may contribute to theoretical and methodological progress in future research on work addiction.
