“…The results of a few studies in various contexts described a major difference between males and females with respect to their stress levels. Though demographical factors show an impact on work stress and work-life balance, some research studies also reported that there is no significant difference between work-family balance and work stress based on gender [7,9] age, and marital status [19]. Also, it was claimed that gender does not show any discrimination towards remote work demands [20].…”

This study investigates the relationship between remote work demands, work stress, and work-life balance among employees in the service sector, specifically those working in Information Technology companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organizations to shift to a new mode of working, which has led to significant changes in work and family roles. Due to the unpredicted changes, remote work causes work stress among employees. A cross-sectional study was chosen, and data were gathered from 242 employees working in the service industry. A purposeful sampling technique is used, and data were collected using a questionnaire. Grounded with Conservation of Resources (COR) stress theory and transformational leadership theory, the result of moderated mediation analyses specifies that the negative influence of remote work demands on the work-life balance of employees is potentially increased by work stress and reversed by the influence of their leader’s behavior style, specifically transformational leadership. Through the dimensions of transformational leadership such as idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, intellectual simulation, the leaders help the individuals working in the team cope with stress and support them in all possible ways to achieve the goal. The outcome also signifies the moderating effect of gender on balancing work and life.

“…Over the past two decades, various studies have shown the relationship of work-life, working long hours, and how its impacts on men and women alike (Kaushal & Parmar, 2019). Women have continued to become as more active in today's workplace and take up roles that men traditionally used to hold (Kar et al, 2019).…”

“…Another significant driver towards the quest for achieving work-life balance may be that the new generation and younger workforce do not spend the same work hours as their parents, they want significant control over their work life, want a more significant role in determining their work schedules and what they can offer in the future (Kaushal & Parmar, 2019). Therefore, work-life balance is when workers or individuals change things by their changing priorities, physical and psychological circumstances that are triggered by age, changes in technology, poor management and improving work conditions (Leslie et al, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, work-life balance is when workers or individuals change things by their changing priorities, physical and psychological circumstances that are triggered by age, changes in technology, poor management and improving work conditions (Leslie et al, 2019). Hence, when there is a balance the employee benefits by having a sense of responsibility and ownership (Avgoustaki & Frankor, 2019); having a better management-employee relationship and not bringing work issues home and home issues to work (Kaushal & Parmar, 2019). On the other hand, the firm management will gain the advantage of a better-motivated workforce, a productive and less stressed pool of employees that feel they are valued, attract fresh quality talents & retain old ones, increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, become known as a great place to work, reduce costs and maximize available labor (…”

This paper aims to explore the relationship that exists between the amount of hour's employees in Northern Ireland, work per week, and their social wellbeing represented by the level of happiness and Health status. This study made use of secondary data adapted from the 2009 Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT). Also, the study provides an analytic account of factors that determine the number of hours spent at work. The paper indicates that in Northern Ireland, there is no significant correlation between the amount of hours employee spent at work and their social wellbeing. Also, the study found that other factors such as: care for someone at home, sex, employed or self-employed, employment status, thinking about work, and socioeconomic group significantly predicts the amount of time an employee in Northern Ireland spends at work. The study concluded that the relationship between work hour and employee social wellbeing varies across countries and cultures.

Being a police officer is a very stressful job, characterized by occupational stressors that impact mental health and increasing work-family balance. Quantitative research is unable to clarify how police officers cope with the impact of work challenges on work-family balance. This study aims to understand how police officers narrate the impact of their work on their family experiences. Nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with Portuguese military police and civilian service forces working in the Northern region of Portugal. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the principles of thematic analysis. The main themes indicate that participants are concerned about the work-family conflict. Both common and unique police officers’ perceptions of the impact of professional challenges on work-family balance emerged among both groups. Common work-family balance challenges for both civilian and military police officers included a negative impact on family dynamics and the sharing work experiences with family, but also recognized positive impacts of the profession on the family. For military police officers, making decisions regarding career advancement is a specific challenge. This study enables clinicians and other professional groups, such as commanders and politicians, to further develop a deeper understanding of these challenges and their different levels of impact. It also allows for the development of targeted strategies aligned with the unique needs of these professionals.
