“…WLB is described as juggling various aspects of one's life at any one point in time, namely work, family, friends, health, and self (Byrne 2005). Additionally, one's satisfaction with leisure activity is considered a strong source of mediating work and family stressors (Knecht et al 2016;Kong et al 2020).…”

Empirical studies on work-life balance (WLB) among employees without disabilities are abundant; in contrast, insufficient research exists on WLB and quality of life issues among employees with physical disabilities from Asian countries. This study used a nation-wide survey to examine how job satisfaction, leisure satisfaction, and satisfaction with family relationships, and satisfaction with friend relationships were positively associated with life satisfaction among employees with physical disabilities in South Korea. The results of the study demonstrated that job satisfaction, leisure satisfaction, and family and friend relationships contributed significantly to the life satisfaction of employees with physical disabilities. Job satisfaction and leisure satisfaction were positively correlated (Pearson’s r = .606). Participants who were satisfied with job and leisure were 16.86 times [95% confidence interval (CI): 10.04–28.31)] more likely to be satisfied with their lives compared to those who were not satisfied with either their jobs or leisure activities. Participants satisfied with either their jobs or leisure activities were 4.49 times (OR 4.49, 95% CI: 2.64–7.65) more likely to be satisfied with their lives compared to those not satisfied with either their jobs or leisure activities. These findings suggest that managing a healthy balance between work and leisure may are critical to enhancing life satisfaction among the population with disabilities. Future research should include cross-cultural studies with sub-dimensions of the measurement scales to improve life satisfaction in this population.

BACKGROUND: Work-life balance is an increasingly important issue in modern work environments, referring to a healthy harmony between work and personal life. Leisure is a crucial element supporting this balance, yet negative tendencies such as workaholism can challenge it. Over time, this can diminish work performance and lead to health problems. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to understand the role of leisure involvement in workaholism and evaluate this relationship with consideration for gender differences. METHOD: The data of the research were obtained through survey. The survey collected from individuals working in shopping centres in Konya province of Türkiye by using simple random sampling method. A total of 389 individuals (185 female and 204 male) working in shopping centers participated in the study. RESULTS: The findings indicate significant differences in leisure involvement and workaholism concerning gender. Additionally, a relationship between leisure involvement and workaholism was identified, with gender having a moderating effect on this relationship. CONCLUSION: Consequently, it was determined that women exhibit higher levels of leisure involvement and workaholism tendencies compared to men, highlighting the crucial role of the relationship between leisure involvement and workaholism in ensuring work-life balance. The results of the research are discussed in the relevant section. Based on the findings, theoretical and managerial implications are developed.
