Abstract:
Work-life balance, job satisfaction and perceived stress are constructs that separately and
linked together have been widely investigated in the literature, especially when focusing
on organisations and their employees. The term work-life balance entered the workplace in
the Nineteen Seventies and Greenbalt (2002) described it as the “acceptable levels of
conflict between work and non-work demands”. Job satisfaction is a challenging concept
to define and measure however, it is widely researched as it can provid many benefits to
organisations and their workers. Multiple definitions have been proposed and the majority
of them focus on job satisfaction as an employees attitude towards their job and how they
evaluate it. Perceived stress is another construct which often appears in research and it
represents how an individual identifies with a stressful situation involving them. Although
this is a widely investigated topic it has rarely been linked to any literature involving
work-life balance and job satisfaction.
