“…The participation of women in the workforce has increased in Iran. Statistics from 1956 to 1986 shows that about 9% of women in Iran were employed (Moayedi 1994), this had increased to 79.5% in 2004 (Karimi & Nouri 2009). Although women are working out of the home in Iran today, traditional female gender stereotypes remain regarding domestic roles.…”

“…Deng and Gao (2017) found that WFC was negatively and facilitation was positively correlated with job/life satisfaction and leisure experiences. Karimi and Nouri (2009) found job demands were associated with both WFC and work-to-family facilitation. Mauno, Kinnunen, and Rantanen (2011) found that both WFC and WFE were related to perceived health.…”

Although there has been much research conducted on the work–life interface, the absence of an integrated review of its conceptualization is mystifying to many researchers. This study addresses this gap in the work–family research. The purpose of this article is to review and synthesize existing literature on the work–life interface. The article examines the conceptualization of the key constructs of work life interface, such as work–family conflict (WFC), work–family enrichment (WFE), and work–life balance (WLB), and draws differences among them. The study contributes to the work–family research by giving clarity about the meaning and relationship of work–life constructs. The study also gives an idea about the measures used in empirical work–life studies. The article concludes by suggesting propositions and a model which offers directions for future work–life researchers. The main limitation of this study is that it may have overlooked studies which are inaccessible or unpublished and having focused on research articles only in English. To the best of our knowledge, this study is among a few articles which attempted to understand the conceptualization of three work–life constructs simultaneously.

“…Work demand has been identified as one of the most important antecedents of conflict in the work and life domain (Karimi & Nouri, 2009 ). Work demands refer to physical, communal, or managerial aspects of a job that require sustained physical or mental effort (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, & Schaufeli, 2001 ).…”

“…Time-based demand is the time an employee needs to spend on work. The amount of time spent on the job has frequently been studied as an antecedent of work-home conflict (Karimi & Nouri, 2009 ) and work demand was mostly measured by hours worked in WLB study (Kelly, Moen, & Tranby, 2011 ; Voydanoff, 2004 ).…”

“…Hence, the issue should be pursued as a strategy to build a positive work environment, which leverages the firm’s performance (Khan & Agha, 2013 ). Employers need to understand their role in extending required support to employees to facilitate the management of their multiple roles, be it as parents or non-parent (Campione, 2008 ; Karimi & Nouri, 2009 ).…”

Demystifying the life domain in work-life balance: A Malaysian perspective

Traditionally, the word 'life' in the concept of work-life balance focuses on family obligations. This conceptual paper sets out to present the notion that "life" goes beyond family responsibilities and is unique to employees of different demographics. Given the impending difference in how "life" is viewed by different groups of employees, this study reviews the literature and argues for the need to distinguish between different dimensions of the non-work domain. The discussion is centered on the transformation taking place within the Malaysian workforce. Recent trends indicate that "life" and "family" are indeed distinct domains. There is a need for organizations to acknowledge this distinction and provide relevant support to attain a balance between work, life, and family. The paper will help strengthen the knowledge about the "life" in the concept of work-life balance and employers better understand the conceptualization of "life" in work-life balance so that they can strategize and enhance employee well-being and eventually gain competitive advantage. Currently, the terms work-life balance and work-family balance are used interchangeably to represent a balance between the family and work domain. This is especially evident in collectivist countries such as Malaysia. However, the emphasis on family without due consideration to the needs of employees with different demographic configurations may result in work-life backlash. Hence, this study argues that the non-work domain is not limited to family obligations and should encompass both family obligations and personal activities. The emphasis on striking a balance between work and family domain should not be done at the expense of the well-being of employees with lesser or no family obligations.
