Work Life Balance: A Conceptual Review

Abstract

Individual perception of high Work life balance (WLB) and sense of well being among employees has become imperative for any organization in order to ensure enhanced performance efficiency, particularly in this era of highly competitive business environment. It is no wonder that the work life balance has attracted numerous contributions from researchers and HR practitioners that attempt to investigate on various factors influencing WLB, their interrelationship and possible outcomes of different levels of WLB prevailing among employees. This paper is an attempt to compile the notable research reported on WLB studies undertaken as a prelude to search for newer and deeper avenues of future research.
