workaholic and worklover
The terms workaholic and worklover they express two different forms of behavior at work. The difference between the two is that the workaholic is a workaholic, but he doesn't always like what he does. The worklover, which means "he who loves work" in English, enjoys his work but doesn't see it as an addiction.
A worklover knows how to find the balance between work and leisure, and does not neglect the social, mental and family aspects of his life. While the workaholic works long hours to try to demonstrate his worth, the worklover knows that working long hours is not a sign of competence.
A worklover knows that he has to stop to rest and have to do things unrelated to his work, to recover energy and be more productive when he returns to work.
