An Exploratory Study of Managers' Perspective of Work‐Life Balance in Nigeria: A Case Analysis of the Nigerian Banking Sector

Abstract

This study describes an exploratory research of managers' perspective of the concept of work-life balance (WLB) policies and practices in Nigeria. This is done through in-depth case studies of 20 banks in the banking sector. The data set is comprised of responses from 102 middle line managers in the Nigerian banking institutions. A review of the extant literature on WLB initiatives in the banking sector revealed that there is a dearth of knowledge on WLB policies and practices in an African context. In an attempt to fi ll the gap in the literature, this study examines the range and scope of WLB practices, managers' perception of WLB, and the forces helping or constraining to shape the choices of work life balance practices and policies. The fi ndings reveal that there is diversity in terms

Time biases: exploring the work–life balance of single Nigerian managers and professionals

“…WLB policies are contextually and culturally sensitive concerns. A primacy afforded in Nigerian culture to the family (Mordi et al, 2013) and the associated normative expectation that men and women should eventually relinquish a single status (highlighted by Participant above who referred to parental pressures to marry), may contribute to a 'time biases' where singles' non-work time is viewed as 'inconsequential', to be routinely invaded. We accordingly argue that the current understanding of WLB, largely based on a-contextual assumptions of individual agency in the management of the work/non-work domains, needs to incorporate notions of fairness as well as contextually and culturally sensitive assessments, on the part of employers, of non-work time.…”

Strategic Talent Management in Emerging Markets and Its Impact on Employee Retention: Evidence from Brazilian MNCs

“…The origin of the term work‐life balance (WLB) is fiercely contested, although scholars (e.g., Beauregard & Henry, ) suggest that WLB emerged from the necessity of businesses to manage increasing problems with absenteeism, health stress, labor retention, and the need to garner an image as an empathetic and socially responsible company (Mordí, Mmieh, & Ojo, ). The general concept of WLB is to maintain a good balance between one's work and private life.…”

Organizational Ambidexterity and the Emerging-to-Advanced Economy Nexus: Cases from Private Higher Education Operators in the United Kingdom

“…Anteby, Lifshitz, and Tushman (, p. 3) indicate that “by asking ‘how’ questions, qualitative data get at underlying mechanisms.” For this reason, the present argument adopts a “how” question, within a qualitative framework, which will allow it to surface extensive and rich data so as to better elaborate underexplored phenomena (Edmondson & McManus, ). The research employs a case study approach (Eisenhardt & Graebner, ; Siggelkow, ; Stake, ; Yin, ) and adopts a qualitative research structure (Mordi, Mmeih, & Ojo, ) to develop detailed data. An inductive approach enables the development of emergent theory “by recognizing patterns of relationships among constructs within and across cases and their underlying logical arguments” (Eisenhardt & Graebner, , p. 25).…”
