“…to the phenomenon of transformation itself (e.g. transformation of managerial roles: Brzozowski, 2009;Dozier and Broom, 1995;Gatenby et al, 2015), or when discussing new management concepts, the change of the role of employees is indicated somewhat "by the way" (Brown and Cregan, 2008;Czerska, 2002;Pabian, 2011;Januszkiewicz, 2014). Despite the fact that FLEXIBILITY AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE Katarzyna Januszkiewicz the flexibility of the function, as it has been said so far, is not usually the focus of attention of researchers, this dimension seems to complement the picture of changes in organizational behaviour in a significant way.…”

Purpose: Flexibility of organizational behaviour of employees is most often treated as a homogeneous category, without taking into account diff erences in its form and scope. However, it should be noted that various forms of fl exibility have various consequences. The purpose of this article is to describe the opportunities and threats of fl exible behaviour in the perspective of the organization and for the work-life balance of employees.Methodology/Approach: The paper presents a deductive model of analysis based on in-depth literature studies in management, psychology and sociology. Findings, implications/limitations:The fi rst part of the paper outlines the implications of fl exibility in general terms identifying them as potential opportunities and threats in the perspective of employees and organizations. Particular attention has been paid to the challenges of contamination of the spheres of life and the resulting confl icts. The second part of the paper discusses the implications of the indicated types of fl exibility of organizational behaviour of employees. Such variation in description seems to be particularly important from the point of view of the analysis of the consequences, since it allows the identifi ed eff ects to be assigned to specifi c categories and thus to be accurately identifi ed.

“…Another gap that was also identified is the methodological gap. Most of the past research employed quantitative studies such as Ozkan and Solmaz (2015), Iorgulescu (2016) and Januszkiewicz (2014). Hence, this study will be carried out through qualitative study to find more in depth about the perceptions of Generation Y employees regarding the worklife balance practices.…”

The objective of this study is to identify the perceptions of Generation Y employees regarding work-life balance practices. As increasing numbers of Generation Y enter the workforce, questions regarding how they perceive work, family and self-related issues, challenges and coping strategies in balancing personal and professional commitments became issues of interests for employers. This study uses interviews to collect data from six informants in Generation Y and the data were analyzed through content analysis. The results indicate that Generation Y employees do indeed have issues and challenges with balancing work and family. However, unlike the older generation of employees, Generation Y employees perceive managing work-life balance only through segmentation or separation strategies. This particular finding indicates that if organizations want to attract and retain these employees they should adapt a strategy specifically designed to target this employee group. Keywords: Gen Y; work-life balance; issues and challenges; coping strategies; segmentation
