The theory has previously been used to explain both remote work and work-life balance and can serve as a useful framework to integrate research that examines the link between the two topics.

First, we developed an integrative definition of work-life balance by stating that work-life balance involves a high level of role engagement in work- and nonwork life with minimal conflict among roles in work and nonwork life. Future research could examine whether the two dimensions have independent or interactive effects in the formation of ...

Abstract We present a systematic review of 48 studies conducted between March 2020 and March 2022 that examined work-life balance (WLB) among those who worked from home. We propose a conceptual framework that organizes the antecedents and outcomes of WLB based on resource loss and gain. Resource loss occurred when employees faced stressors such as perceived work intensity, workspace ...

ABSTRACT Poor work-life balance (WLB) has been linked to negative outcomes such as increased stress, anxiety, depression, and a perceived reduction in the overall quality of life. At an institutional level, these may include lowered employee commitment and decreased productivity at work.

Work-Life Balance New research on work-life balance from Harvard Business School faculty on issues including how best to deal with today's 24/7 work culture, the concept of leaning-in, and how to build a business in the context of a life.

Abstract This study systematically synthesizes the existing literature on work-life balance (WLB) over the last 16 years to determine the various constructs associated with it using the Antecedents, Decisions and Outcomes (ADO) model for the WLB construct. It also identifies research gaps and proposes a direction for future research.

Background The pressing demands of work over the years have had a significant constraint on the family and social life of working adults. Moreover, failure to achieve a 'balance' between these domains of life may have an adverse effect on their health. This study investigated the relationship between work-life conflict and self-reported health among working adults in contemporary welfare ...
