Many changes in the workplace and in employees' lives have taken place over the past couple decades and have led to an increase in the attention paid to the boundary between work and non-work issues among employees. However, much of this research has been limited by its emphasis on family in the domain of non-work. The present study was undertaken to extend previous research by developing a broader construct: work/personal life balance. Based on the conservation of resources theory and qualitative research, work/life balance was defined as an occupational stressor regarding issues of time, energy, goal accomplishment, and strain. A 21-item scale was developed as part of this study to measure employees' perceptions of work/life balance, and it was expected that this scale would be related to a variety of stressors and strains. Data were collected from a heterogeneous sample of 540 managers employed in a variety of organizations across the U.S. Responses from 273 of these managers were retained for use as a holdout sample for cross-validation purposes. Across both samples, results indicated three dimensions of work/life balance: work interference with personal life, personal life interference with work, and work/personal life enhancement. As predicted, this measure was significantly related to role overload, time pressure, time management behavior, overall feelings of job stress, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions in both samples. In addition, results indicated initial evidence of discriminant validity between work/life balance and work/family conflict. Overall, this study provides initial evidence of construct validity. Implications for theories of occupational stress as well as organizational practice are discussed. Additional work/life balance scale development is warranted.
