“…Managers can implement various work/life balance practices and benefits, both privately and organized by their companies. Thereby, from the offered practices and benefits by the company, each individual manager should choose the ones that are most significant to them, depending on their current career position, living conditions, life circumstances, as well as personal values, needs, goals and priorities (Mladenović & Krstić, 2021c).…”

In the era of knowledge economy, company's competitive advantage is mostly created by skills and knowledge of its employees, especially managers as the most significant segment of company's human intellectual capital. The subject of this paper is manager's work/life balance and possibility of its measurement. Balanced and satisfied managers represent a good foundation for achieving company's goals. The paper will present certain subjective factors and company factors that can affect manager's work/life balance. Within these factors, various practices and benefits for establishing manager's work/life balance can be distinguished, depending on whether they are created by companies and offered to their managers, or they are designed and implemented by managers themselves outside the company. The purpose of this paper is presenting the conceptual model of interdependence of manager's job satisfaction, manager's private life satisfaction and manager's work/life balance satisfaction, which includes dimensions of each of these types of manager's satisfaction that managers can assess through a questionnaire. Based on this model and managers' grades, the result of this paper is reflected in the created index methodology for calculating the values of indices of the mentioned types of manager's satisfaction, which can be applied at the level of the individual manager as well as at the level of the company, and it can also be used for comparing the values of determined satisfaction indices by managers, by years and between companies.

Many people with disabilities still face difficulties and obstacles trying to secure employment. Organizations are doing more and more to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities (PWD), because it is in their best interests, due to factors such as a dearth of skilled workers, a lack of trained workers, a rise in the prevalence of disability among their labor groups, as well as in the laws and public attitudes supporting workplace fairness and diversity. This article used a qualitative methodology and conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing literature using a variety of different databases such as Science Direct, Springer, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and Elsevier, which were used to identify various research articles related to the employment of PWD. We looked at research on the advantages of hiring people with disabilities, as well as HR management procedures with reference to recruiting persons with disabilities, and also investigated the methodology this literature used. Our findings demonstrate that the advantages of employing disabled individuals are many. To better understand how advantages may differ by disability type, industry, and work type, more research is required.

“…Due to changes in recent socio-demographic trends, such as a larger number of women entering the work field, more challenging work demands, faster lifestyles and increased need for elderly care (Mladenović & Krstić, 2021b), it can be concluded that work and private life should not be viewed as two segregated parts of an employee's life, but rather as parts of life which both require as much time, energy and devotion (Hein, 2005). Since work and private life have become equally important for employees of both genders (Vandello et al, 2013), an interconnection or overlap of these two life spheres can be noticed, as presented in Figure 1, with events in each sphere affecting the other one (Lingard & Francis, 2005).…”

Contemporary companies consider work-life balance a crucial topic. Higher work pressure, longer working hours and more families with both working parents have made balancing work and private life even more difficult. The paper addresses this interrelation and highlights two research questions regarding the type of relationship (positive or negative) that exists between work and private life of employees. These questions are answered based on the analysis of various previously conducted empirical research studies. Findings reveal both negative and positive interrelationship between employees' work and private life. The contributions and conclusions of this paper can be extremely relevant for a company to comprehend how important the creation of work-life balance initiatives is for increasing job satisfaction of its managers and other employees, as well as for developing the reputation of a desirable employer.
