Work-life balance is a major aspect of the quality of work and life of individuals and couples trying to manage multiple roles. work-life balance is important for an individual&rsquo;s psychological well-being, and that high self-esteem, satisfaction, and overall sense of harmony in life can be regarded as indicators of a successful balance between work and family roles (Clark, 2000; Clarke et al., 2004; Marks and MacDermid, 1996). However, there is a lack of consensus on how work-life balance should be defined, measured, and researched, and thus, the theorizing of what constitutes work-life balance, how it develops, and what factors enable or hinder it, is still in progress (Grzywacz and Carlson, 2007; Jones et al., 2006; Voydanoff, 2005).The paper aims at identifying the factors that influence WLB.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
