А workaholic - типичное английское portmanteau word - точную дату появления надо в англоязычных источниках посмотреть, не особенно давнее - я бы предположила 70-е годы.

The term was apparently coined by psychologist Richard I. Evans, currently professor of psychology at the University of Houston. Dr. Evans may have originated the term workaholic in an interview with him, published in the house publication for oil company Esso (now ExxonMobil), in the 1960s, and widely distributed throughout the world.
