In this regard, based on the Prism method, after identifying 122 articles and screening 67 articles, 55 papers were selected to be reviewed. Accourding to the results of this review through prizma method, theories such as spillover-cross-over theory, the mood as input approach, Passion, Self-determination theory and Regulatory focus theory were determined as the theories explaining the relationship between workaholism and other variables. Also the results demonstrated that the categoris such as the Scott et al (1997), Spence and Robbins (1992) and researchers such as burke and schoufeli are as the most prominent scholars and researchers of workaholism research area.
