Conceptualizing Work—Family Balance: Implications for Practice and Research
Abstract
The problem and the solution. Systematic theorizing about work—family balance has not kept pace with interest, which undermines organizations' abilities to effectively monitor work—family balance and to use work—family balance strategically. The goal of this article is to develop a better conceptual understanding of work—family balance. Work—family balance is defined as accomplishment of role-related expectations that are negotiated and shared between an individual and his or her role-related partners in the work and family domains. This article elaborates on how this definition of work—family balance addresses limitations of previous conceptualizations and describes areas for human resource development research and implications for using work—family balance strategically in management practice.

“There is good theoretical reason to believe that work–family balance may contribute to well-being (Marks & MacDermid, 1996; Thoits, 1983), or the subjective side of employee health (Keyes, 2002), but the evidence linking work–family balance to morbidity is less clear.”

“Working at multiple levels within the organization is consistent with standard HRD practice as well as other organizational functions like health promotion/wellness (McLeroy, Bibeau, Steckler, & Glanz, 1988; Stokols, 1996), and they would likely be effective for promoting work–family balance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
