The term work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between the amount of time and effort individuals commit to work-and non work-related activities (Fowell & Greenhaus, 2010). The way in which individuals balance their work and nonwork lives is a central issue in business practices and in academic inquiry, particularly in disciplines such as organizational studies, and sociological perspectives (Mescher, Benschop, & Doorewaard, 2010; Powell & Greenhaus, 2010). In this country, the work-life field began in the late 1970s when Americans exhibited increased mental and physical stress based on limited job autonomy and lack of support for an overall quality of life (Kossek, Lewis, & Hammer, 2010). Such workplace findings signaled the need for the development of a mutually beneficial balance between organizations’ expectations and employees’ desires.
