Two years ago, when we received the proposal to engage in an editorial project for a handbook on work-life balance research, we were hesitant to accept, aware of the increasingly contested and problematic nature of the very construct of 'work-life balance'. However, we eventually decided to accept the invitation, with the idea of collating not so much an exhaustive compendium of the research ...

Work-life balance (WLB) is a concept that refers to "a state wherein an individual's work and family lives experience little conflict while enjoying substantial facilitation" (Frone 2003; Nielsen et al. 2002).Work-life balance is also defined as "the accomplishment of role-related expectations that are negotiated and shared between an individual and his/her role-related partners in the ...

Moreover, they demonstrate that job-related

A majority of the research on work-life balance has focused on its work-related antecedents. These studies primarily draw on resource-based theories (viz., job demands-resources, conservation of resources, work-home resources model, and resource-gain-development perspective) to explain the impact of work-related demands and resources upon work-life balance.

Based on a thorough review of the literature we introduce an integrated conceptualization of work-life balance involving two key dimensions: engagement in work life and nonwork life and minimal conflict between social roles in work and nonwork life. Based on this conceptualization we review much of the evidence concerning the consequences of work-life balance in terms work-related, nonwork ...

Much research has demonstrated that work-life balance leads to high organizational performance, increased job satisfaction, and stronger organizational commitment (e.g., Allen et al. 2000).Research has also demonstrated that work-life balance plays an important role in individual well-being such as health satisfaction, family satisfaction, and overall life satisfaction (e.g., Keyes 2002; Marks ...

2.2. Consequences of Work-Family Balance: Job Satisfaction.

Introduction. In this technological era, work is becoming demanding with changing nature of work and working patterns (Thilagavathy and Geetha, 2020).The proactive, aggressive and demanding nature of business with the intention of reaching the top requires active involvement and comprehensive devotion from the employees, thereby compromising their work-life balance (WLB) (Turanlıgil and ...

In this chapter, the authors argue that fundamentally work-life balance needs to be framed with gender theory. The authors use gender structure theory to argue for a multilevel analytical approach to research on work-life balance (Risman 2018b, 2018a). Most work-life balance scholarship concentrates on one level of analysis: either the individual, interactional, or macro-level. We argue that ...
