Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work&amp;ndash;life balance is a concept including proper prioritizing between &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; (career and ambition) and &amp;quot;lifestyle&amp;quot; (health,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development/meditation). Related, though oader, terms include &amp;quot;lifestyle calm&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;balance&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;lifestyle choices&amp;quot;. In recent years the challenge of maintaining a balance between work life and personal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;life has grown significantly influential in modern life style. Employees face greater workload, increasing time pressure and growing obstacles in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;satisfying both job and personal life demands. At work the demand for efficiency leads to more tasks, which have to be fulfilled in a shorter period&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;of time, which disturbs the balance of work life.&lt;/div&gt;</p>
