Because there are conflicting opinions and conclusions about the impact of workaholism, our study have purposes to create awareness among the workers of workaholism so that they may prevent themselves from becoming a workaholics. In doing this study we have distributed 100 sets of questionnaires to both public and private agencies to see whether there is any differences of level of awareness of workaholism among them. Based on our findings, there are differences of level of awareness of workaholism between public and private agencies especially in term of job post. Different level of job post has different level of awareness of workaholism. There are six ways to overcome workaholism that have been proposed by the respondents from both public and private agencies. It also found that most of the respondents have give their opinion on the effects of workaholism in the working environment. Besides, they also have give opinions that the private agencies tend to experience more workaholic symptoms compared to private agencies. The level of awareness of workaholism does not have much influence from the demographic factors but it is more influence by the office culture thet being practice differently by the public and private agencies. It can be concluded that the level of awareness of workaholism is moderate.
