Abstract
Due to the demanding nature of work and employees' personal activities in the information and technological age, maintaining a work-life balance has been the focus of industry human resource practitioners. The quick accessibility to nearly anything and the hurried pace of life encourage people to work harder with the time they appear to have at their disposal rather than making them more lethargic. Since the adoption of flexibility measures in the workplace appears to promote this, the individual engages in more activities than usual both inside and outside of the office. The separation between business and personal life is further defined by the accessibility of technology everywhere that promotes people's connectivity 24 hours a day.
Every person's definition of work-life balance varies depending on their stage of life. An individual who is single and just out of college would have a different idea of work-life balance than an individual who may be single but has certain "obligations" to his or her family, and again differently for an individual who is married and has children, especially if they are single parents. According to Johnson (2005), an employee's perspective of work-life balance is significantly influenced by their age, lifestyle, and environment. The conflict between work and family spheres is also taken into consideration, particularly when there is role conflict and tension. In addition, productivity expectations at work frequently conflict with people's obligations to their families who work in industries that significantly rely on shift work.
