Basic Model

This paper is to discuss a basic model of work-life balance for married women working in public sector. The model is formulated based surveys received from seventy-six (76) respondents working in various public sectors in Komplek Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) Penang. The study discovered that basically there are two main factors contribute to work-life balance, family related factors and job-related factors. In addition, to achieve work-life balance and to ensure productive and efficient working women, there should be incentives and services provided by the employers and government/non-government agencies to ease the burden of working women both in managing their families and their work. The incentives and services suggested by the respondents are suitable and flexible leave policies, dependent care centres, flexible working hours and work-family activities and support system and also counselling service or employee assistance programme. Since the model is formulated based on a study carried-out only on a small number of respondents, further studies should be carried-out to confirm the model or to up-grade the model. However, the model can be a basic model for more detail and comprehensive model of work-life balance for working women in Malaysia in future.

The Difference

In terms of Indian context, the concern over work-life balance is gradually becoming a common talk especially for women employees. Work life balance is a state of equilibrium in which the demand of both professional and personal life is equal. Each role having different set of demands and when such role demands overlap, multiple problems are faced. In reality life and work over-lap and interact. In designing the work life policies employer should think that the commitment of employees can make the difference between those companies which compete at the marketplace and those which cannot. A balanced life for women is one where they spread their energy and effort between key areas of importance. This research study aims to figure out the working environment of public sector banks for women employees and what is the perception of women about the initiative and policies of banks and effects of those initiatives on their lives. Chi square test is applied in this paper to check the authenticity of data given by the respondents. The research is conducted among working women in banks with special reference to SBI, Bhopal (M.P.) city head office. We suggest that Work-Life Balance is not a problem to be solved. It is an ongoing issue to be managed.

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave. The study population consists of (800) working women in King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH). To collect the primary data a questionnaire survey was distributed to (200) working women, from them (144) questionnaires were returned. The study used linear regression and path analyses to test hypotheses. The study findings revealed that; there is a significant relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave, there is a significant relationship between work-life balance and (affective, continuance and normative) commitment, but not with continuous commitment, there is a significant relationship between (affective, continuance and normative) commitment and intention to leave. Finally, affective commitment fully mediates the relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave, while normative commitment partially mediates the relation. In light of these findings, the study recommends; adoption of the work-life balance program in Jordanian hospitals to improve the commitment of working women, and encourages Jordanian organizations to enhance the participation of employee in decision making and locus of control to improve organizational commitment.

Today, the main issue of concern among military personnel is the quality of their lives, the time with the family and the impact of work on family members (Blue Star Families, 2017). Work-life balance has been increasingly gaining attention since recently due to the increase in issues related to emotional intelligence, depression, anxiety and stress among society. The aim of this study is to discuss empirical evidence based on previous studies on the relationship between emotional intelligence, depression, anxiety and stress to the work-life balance. Individual ability to manage emotional intelligence, depression, anxiety and stress is an important thing to be aware of as it will affect the well-being of their lives. Security and defense career require high resilience as they often face the many risks and challenges that need to be addressed (Baker & Ibrahim, 2014; 2017).

Studies have been suggesting that millennials put a higher emphasis on their subjective wellbeing experience at work as an aspect in their decision to stay in an organisation. In this paper, we investigated how work-life balance explained job-related affective wellbeing among millennial employees. In addition, we investigated how work autonomy moderated the relationship between work-life balance and job-related affective wellbeing. Our assumptions were; 1) those who had higher work-life balance experienced better job-related affective wellbeing, and 2) when under high work autonomy, job-related affective wellbeing levels will be higher compared to when in lower levels. To test our proposition, we surveyed a total of 272 millennial workers using PROCESS MACRO SPPSS extension. Our results suggested that work autonomy had an extremely important role in increasing millennial workers’ affective wellbeing. Affective wellbeing state of millennial workers were significantly higher when under high work autonomy levels compared to when they were lower. Implication of this paper includes understanding the importance of work autonomy inside the organisation towards millennial workers. It also offers several managerial implications on key areas to improve affective wellbeing of millennials at work.

Burnout rates and physician dissatisfaction are at an all-time high. Work-life balance is the panacea to worker's burn-out. The dictionary defines work-life balance as "the amount of time you spend doing your job compared with the amount of time you spend with yournfamily and doing things you enjoy". Workers in public sector work officially for 8hrs per day and depending on the profession this may be further prolonged as in the health sector for 24hrs in some days of the week.
