Work–life balance and subjective well‐being: The mediating role of need fulfilment
Abstract
The relationship between work–life balance (WLB) (i.e. the perceived sufficiency of the time available for work and social life) and well‐being is well‐documented. However, previous research failed to sufficiently explain why this relationship exists. In this research, the hypothesis was tested that a sufficient amount of the time available increases well‐being because it facilitates satisfaction of personal needs. Using two separate samples (students and employees), the mediating role of need fulfilment in the relationship between WLB and well‐being was supported. The results suggest that perceived sufficiency of the time available for work and social life predicts the level of well‐being only if the individual's needs are fulfilled within that time.

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.
