'The origin of the formula work-life balance (WLB) can be seen in at least three social contexts: the increasing labour market participation of women, demographic changes and corporate interests in flexible labour. WLB seems to be attractive for all stakeholders, despite the resulting tensions between corporate driven flexibility and the need for individual balancing and self-organisation. It reflects changes in the sphere of paid labour on the one hand and the increasing demand for individual time arrangements to achieve quality of life on the other hand. For the purpose of this paper WLB will be connected to policies of social sustainability, especially sustainable work.' (author's abstract)|

"Fragen der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie, von Arbeit und Freizeit und von Lebensqualität werden immer virulenter und finden ihren Niederschlag im Begriff der Work Life Balance. Zahllose selbsternannte Experten bieten jedoch wenig Substantielles. Der Autor erläutert in seinem Beitrag ausführlich das Konzept der Work Life Balance. Es zielt darauf, die Gesundheitskompetenz in Organisationen zu erhöhen und die nachhaltige Umsetzung mit konkreten Maßnahmen zu erleichtern." (Autorenreferat)

Throughout its one hundred plus years of history, the Cooperative Extension System has experienced many changes. Since its beginning, the Extension System has revolutionized nonformal educational approaches and outreach methods. However, these changes have also created issues such as role ambiguity, work-life conflict, work-life spillover, burnout, stress, and work-life imbalance among Extension professionals. There are very few currently existing publications that identify present day work-life balance issues in Extension. Most of such information is dated and irrelevant to current workings of Extension. To give more in-depth insights on this subject, a number of well-established theories, such as compensation, spillover, inter-role conflict, and role enhancement theories, are discussed in this publication. These theories are selected based on their relatability with Extension. Hence, this article was created with an intent to encourage a dialogue concerning current work-life balance issues within Extension. The article also illustrates a conceptual theoretical perspective–a three-tier approach to work-life balance in Extension. This approach discusses elements, such as individual awareness, environmental factors, and organizational policies, to inculcate positive work-life balance practices. This proposed approach could be a guide to creating a more positive work culture, improving work-life satisfaction among Extension employees, and boosting organizational competence and productivity.

Work life balance has always been an important issue in social sciences due to its significant influence on career choice, time management, stress management and other important aspects of day to day life of human beings. Moreover, it is universal phenomena. With this context, the study tries to explore and analyze the link between Working hour, income level and organizational support with work-life balance of employees working in selected commercial banks of Nepal. Moreover, the study seeks the necessity to formulate an apparent and specific organization policy to address work life balance in Nepalese Commercial banks.

This article examines the extent to which the growing attention being paid at EU and national level to issues related to work–life balance is reflected in families' lived experience. It identifies the demands facing families in balancing paid work with other activities, the strategies they adopt to meet them, and the role played by policy interventions. Attention is drawn to diversity in family structures and labour market participation throughout Europe, to differences in the issues encountered by families in achieving a satisfactory work–life balance, and to the contribution of policy to their strategies.

Gegenstand dieser Masterarbeit ist die Bedeutung der Work-Life-Balance für diplomierte Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonen. Die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Privatleben scheint aufgrund vielzähliger Anforderungen, Belastungen und Erwartungen im beruflichen und privaten Lebensalltag eine große Herausforderung für Betroffene zu sein. Eine Work-Life-Imbalance kann zu Stress und im schlimmsten Fall zum Burnout-Syndrom führen. Auf Basis einer hermeneutischen Vorgehensweise wird anhand von relevanter Literatur sowie mehrerer Studien und Untersuchungen in erster Linie der Bedeutung der Work-Life-Balance für diplomierte Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonen, sowie den Fragen nach Anforderungen und Belastungen im beruflichen Alltag sowie im Privatleben, Risiken der Work-Life-Imbalance und Interventionsmöglichkeiten zur Erreichung bzw. Erhaltung der Work-Life-Balance nachgegangen. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Work-Life-Balance eine individuelle Synthese von Arbeits- und Privatleben darstellt und sie eine enorm große Bedeutung für diplomierte Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonen einnimmt, sowohl für ihre Profession, also ihr berufliches Handeln, als auch für ihr privates Leben.Unterschiedliche Strategien und Interventionsmöglichkeiten unterstützen den Weg hin zu einer guten Work-Life-Balance bzw. die Erhaltung einer bestehenden, guten Work-Life-Balance. Im Zusammenhang damit sind wirksame Maßnahmen auf der individuellen Ebene von Betroffenen selbst, sowie auf der betrieblichen Ebene vom Arbeitgeber und auch auf gesellschaftspolitischer Ebene angesiedelt. Schließlich ist mit einer guten Work-Life-Balance das Ziel, nämlich Gesundheit, Lebenszufriedenheit bzw. qualität und Wohlbefinden, erst möglich. ; This master thesis is about the relevance of the concept of "work-life-balance" in nursing. Due to numerous demands, encumbrances and expectations, the compatibility of work and personal life seems to be a big challenge for people concerned. Work-life-imbalance can lead to stress and in the worst case to the burnout-syndrome.The results of this thesis were gained following a hermeneutic approach. Based on relevant literature as well as reports of several studies and current research the following aspects are part of this master thesis: First the relevance of work-life-balance in nursing, second demands and burden in nurses professional lives as well as in personal life, third risks of work-life-imbalance, and finally strategies to gain and obtain work-life-balance. The results suggest, that work-life-balance is an individual synthesis of work life and personal life and that it is of major importance for people working in nursing. It affects not only their profession, but also their private life. Different strategies and possibilities for intervention support affected people in achieving work-life-balance and in obtaining an already achieved work-life-balance, respectively. Those strategies can be located on the individual level of the affected person as well as on company and on sociopolitical level.A good work-life-balance seems to be crucial in order to reach the goal of healthiness, life satisfaction, life quality and wellbeing. ; Elisabeth Warga ; Zusammenfassungen in Deutsch und Englisch ; Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Masterarbeit, 2017 ; (VLID)2679437
