Adnan AKIN 2 , Esra ULUKÖK 3 , Tayfun ARAR 4 ÖZ Çalışan bireyin yaşamında iki temel alan olan iş ve iş dışı yaşam arasındaki etkileşim, çalışanlar için önem arz etmektedir. İş yaşam dengesi, son yıllarda hem akademisyenlerin hem de işletme yöneticilerinin dikkatini çekmeye başlayan bir konu olmuştur. İş yaşam dengesizliği, bireylerin tutum ve davranışlarında önemli değişikliklere ve olumsuzluklara neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışanın iş yaşamı ve ev yaşamı arasında bir denge kurma arzuları kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, yazında iş yaşam dengesi diye geçen bu olguyu temel alan 17 si tez, 19 u makale olmak üzere, ulusal yazın kapsamında toplam 36 çalışmanın içerik analizi ile incelenmesidir. Bu araştırma ile son 20 yılda olduğu gibi bugünde önemini kaybetmeyen iş yaşam dengesi kavramı ile ilgili yazındaki çalışmalar incelenecek ve literatürün eksik kalan ve tamamlanması gereken yönleri vurgulanacaktır.
