Many countries often promote a workaholic mindset to benefit their economic reputation as compared to other countries. Although 43.3% of employees in Turkey work more than 50 hours per week, Japan is the country most known for not using their vacation days as only 33% of workers use their paid vacation days (Statistica).

There is no significant data on which country is most known for promoting workaholism, but cultural norms and nationalism are suspected to contribute to one's work ethic.

For example, Japan is known to promote hard work and discipline through its government and family values. As a result, the country had a high depression and suicide rate among citizens due to their long work hours.

Workaholism is prevalent in the medical, education, and hospitality industries due to long shifts and interaction with others.

Each industry with the highest burnout rates offers services to a certain group of people whether it be patients, students, or customers.

Still, all industries have employees that become workaholics due to the common factors of a stressful work environment, economic conditions, and long hours. As a result, their performance in the industry is highly affected.
