Summary/Abstract: The results of an empirical study of the subjective well-being of overworked young women and the impact of overtime on the quality of a company’s social capital are presented. The authors analyzed the positive and negative consequences of overtime for society, companies, employees and their families. The respondents were 2.648 employees of digital technology, social production and education companies, 713 of whom were women and 155 boys. It was revealed that about half of the workers voluntarily or involuntarily work overtime. Subjective well-being was considered as an emotional regulator of labor activity. Indicators of subjective well-being include individual organizational values, fatigue, self-assessment of the state of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is shown that overwork, especially forced overwork, negatively affects the subjective well-being of young women workers. With the exception of in-formation technology, women overwork more than men and, according to them, receive significantly less overtime pay. These facts confirm the first part of the hypothesis. The second part has not been confirmed. Young women workers who work overtime, despite subjective poor well-being, do not want changes in organizational conditions that allow them not to overwork. Women are dominated by market and adhocracy values. The price, however, is too high. Behind this is a violation of the natural social and role balance in work, personal and family life, a high risk of health loss. The phenomenon of contradiction between subjective well-being and individual market values is revealed. The mechanism of formation of workaholism as an alternative to labor activity is shown.
