    Abstract
    Artists are an important although often misunderstood part of the workforce. This study sought to shed light on the work habits of this population by conducting a discriminant function analysis to differentiate between a sample of white-collar professionals and a sample of artistic workers on workaholism and two of its correlates: work/nonwork interference and enhancement, and obsessive compulsive behavior. Contrary to hypotheses 1 and 2, no difference was found between these two groups on either measure of workaholism, on hours worked, or in work interference with personal life. In line with hypotheses 3 and 4, results indicated a significant difference between the two groups on work enhancement of personal life such that self-employed artists scored higher, and no significant difference between these groups on obsessive-compulsive behavior. Additional results revealed a significant difference between white-collar professionals and artists on work enjoyment such that artists scored higher, and the control measure of the WART such that white-collar professionals scored higher. A breakdown of these groups by self-employment status revealed that being self-employed was a significant factor in determining work enhancement of personal life. These results reinforce the study of artists' work behaviors as important for future research involving work/nonwork balance.
