CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The issue of work-life balance has been widely discussed over the past decades (Hobson, Delunas, Kesic, 2001; McMillan, Morris, & Atchley, 2011). The idea of the work-life balance issue started from the change in the structure of the labor market and the changing demographic profiles of employees. The family structure in relation to work has evolved from the traditional ideology of the male “breadwinner” role to a dual career or in some cases single parent families (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, 2012).

Approaches Associated withWork-life Balance

There are five major models employed to explain the relationship between work and the rest of life. The segmentation model hypothesizes that life can be categorized into several domains. These domains are separatedand have no influence on one another. According to this view, work and non-work are two distinct domains of life. The model indicates that there is no relationship among the various domains of life.

MeasuringWork-life Balance

Measuring what constitutes a work-life balance is a difficult task, though the topic of examining the balance has been addressed for quite a while. This is because the lack of consistency in definitions leads to the inability to generate a compatible operational definition (McMillan, Morris, & Atchley, 2011).

Compensation Model

The compensation model stresses that an individual would attempt to make up the deficit in one domain of life through additional efforts in the other. This model indicates a negative relationship between work satisfaction/dissatisfaction and family dissatisfaction/satisfaction.
