Work–life balance: a longitudinal evaluation of a new measure across Australia and New Zealand workers

Supervisor Support and Organizational Commitment: The Role of Work–Family Conflict, Job Satisfaction, and Work–Life Balance

“…WLB was measured with five items: one item from Greenhaus et al (2012), two items from Brough et al (2014), and two items from Carlson, Grzywacz, and Zivnuska (2009). The measure for WLB, which has been developed and used by researchers, was also empirically validated (Brough et al, 2014; Carlson et al, 2009; Greenhaus et al, 2012; Russo et al, 2016). The Cronbach’s alpha in the present study was .93.…”

Cross-cultural work and family research: A review of the literature

“…In some cases, models were invariant across cultures (e.g., Brough et al, 2014;Hill, Yang, Hawkins, & Ferris, 2004;Lapierre et al, 2008), but on others cases they were not (e.g., Aryee et al, 1999;Galovan et al, 2010;Netemeyer et al, 2004). In general, comparison of models makes it difficult to understand the precise nature of differences observed.…”

Outcomes of work–life balance on job satisfaction, life satisfaction and mental health: A study across seven cultures

“…Interestingly, research conducted by IBM has shown that people's nationality does not translate in differences in the expressed desire for work-life balance (Hill et al, 2004). Regarding the effects of WLB, extant research shows that people who perceive balance between their work and life roles tend to be more satisfied of their life and report better physical and mental health (Brough et al, 2014;Carlson, Grzywacz, & Zivnuska, 2009;Greenhaus et al, 2003;Ferguson, Carlson, Zivnuska, & Whitten, 2012;Haar, 2013;Lunau, Bambra, Eikemo, van der Wel, & Dragano, 2014). Building on these premises, in this article we hypothesize, for two reasons, that WLB will be positively related to job and life satisfaction and negatively related to mental health universally for all employees.…”
