Summary/Abstract: Addiction on work is a behavioral addiction that is least elaborated in scientific and professional literature, though much faster than addiction on psychoactive substances. This was the reason for carrying out an exploratory field research on representative samples of 3003 respondents in Serbia and 1486 in Montenegro. In addition to the analysis of the spread of phenomena and phenomenological aspects, the risk factors for predisposition of dependence on labor, the social profiles of the defensive mechanisms of labor dependents were examined. Addiction on the work in Serbia and Montenegro by spread is in the upper half of the 11th of behavioral dependencies, and according to some research it is high above certain countries outside Europe. Risk factors are dominated by dependencies of psychoactive substances in parent families and disorders of early psycho-social development, and in the Montenegrin sample and disturbed emotional relationships between parents and children. The social and psychological profile is characterized by subdivision (especially in the Montenegrin sample) which also influences the choice of defense mechanisms, the work is different from most other behavioral agents who, in addition to the immature, use neuroticism more often and formulate defense mechanisms.
