Firm innovativeness and work-life balance

Sustainable HRM as a Driver for Innovative Work Behaviour: Do Respect, Openness, and Continuity Matter? The Case of Lithuania

“…In general, work-life balance refers to the individuals' perception that work and non-work activities are compatible with their given life priorities [99].…”

“…Earlier literature has analysed work-life conflict [100,101], work-to-family enrichment [102,103], and work-family balance [99] in relation to innovative work behaviour. For instance, Abstein, Heidenreich, and Spieth [100] suggested that work-life conflict was negatively related to innovative work behaviour.…”

“…Evidence shows that employees who can balance work and life issues are able to concentrate better at work [99]. Successful fulfilment of work and family demands provides psychological motivation to the employees, which enables them to think about new ways of performance and generate and implement the ideas [102] Accordingly, the higher the work-life conflict level the employees perceive, the more they are likely to conclude that the company cares little about them [100], and this in turn might result in lower interest in innovations at work.…”

The relationship between the use of work-life benefits and policies (WLBPs) and job satisfaction: the mediating role of the work-to-family conflict

“…La flexibilidad en el lugar de trabajo ha sido un tema de considerable interés para los investigadores, profesionales y defensores de las políticas públicas como una herramienta para ayudar a las personas a administrar los roles laborales y familiares (Allen et al 2013). El equilibrio trabajo-vida (Work-Life Balance, WLB, por sus siglas en inglés) es actualmente una preocupación política en varios países y un foco activo en la investigación internacional (Pasamar 2015;Alegre y Pasamar 2018). Este interés se ha intensificado después de los cambios demográficos que han mejorado la atención de la sociedad a este fenómeno (Cegarra-Leiva et al 2012; Alegre y Pasamar 2018), justificando la necesidad de una investigación continua y la creación de agendas internacionales que promueven el diseño y adopción de programas favorables a la familia.…”
