Concept information

Preferred term

work-family balance  

Definition(s)

  • Work-family balance is a term that refers to an individual's perceptions of the degree to which he or she is experiencing positive relationships between work and family roles, where the relationships are viewed as compatible and at equilibrium with each other. Like a fulcrum measuring the daily shifting weights of time and energy allocation between work and family life, the term work-family balance provides a metaphor to countervail the historical notion that work and family relationships can often be competing, at odds, and conflicting.
