Does work/life balance depend on where and how you work?

Research Output: Contribution to journal Article Peer-review

Abstract

This article reports on a symposium presented in EAWOP, 2009 that examined worklife balance issues in different occupational contexts. During a global recession where developing work-life balance policies may not be considered organizational priorities; we argue that the need for systematic research into work-life balance has never been greater. The findings of the four papers included in the symposium suggest that work-life balance initiatives that are firmly grounded in workplace context and that acknowledge diverse approaches to conceptualising and managing the work-home interface will be more successful than those that assume “one size fits all”.
