Satisfaction Relationship

Difficulties in balancing work and non-work roles have a negative impact on an individual’s life satisfaction. This study investigates the relationship between work-life balance and life satisfaction across the United Kingdom and Spain. It also explores the moderating effects of individual orientations of collectivism and gender identity. The used scales measured Work-life Balance (WLB), Life Satisfaction (LS), Collectivism vs. Individualism orientations, and Gender identity. Collectivism/Individualism was measured and analysed at individual-level rather than at cultural-level. Data was collected from 52 British and 69 Spanish full-time employed women through an online survey. Correlational analyses and hierarchical multiple regression were conducted. Findings indicated that work-life balance had positive effects on life satisfaction across two different cultures. Those effects were stronger for British than Spanish women. Moderating effects were not found. Although, work-life balance, collectivism individual-orientation, and feminine identity predicted life satisfaction in the UK and only work-life balance predicted life satisfaction in Spain. This study extends the literature on work-life balance and life satisfaction relationship and the influence of culture, whilst also contributing to the under-researched area of the influence of gender identity on that relationship. The results might contribute to developing better strategies for promoting work-life balance

Work-life balance policies from a gender equality perspective – the forgotten corpo- rate social responsibility in Danish CSR policy. CSR has increasingly attracted national governments and social partners’ attention worldwide. Denmark is no exception. The Danish initiatives have mainly focused on employment related issues rather than gender equality and work-life balance issues. In fact, gender equality is rarely a topic discussed in the Danish CSR policies. This paper argues that social partners have through collective agreements voluntary taken on a social responsibility to ease employees’ work/life balance and thereby promote gender equality. However, these policies mainly address the problems faced by working mothers, less so fathers and rarely careers other than parents are therefore expected to combine work and care-giving with limited if no support from their workplace.
