Summary
This chapter reviews research on work–nonwork balance, starting with early research on the topic and discussing how the conceptualization and measurement of balance has changed over time. Drawing from social psychological research on attitudes and person-environment fit theory, balance is defined as a multi-dimensional construct with three facets: affective balance, effectiveness balance, and involvement balance. The measurement of both global balance and the facets of balance is discussed. The literature that examines the link between balance and employee well-being is reviewed. Finally, directions for future research on work–nonwork balance are discussed.
