Work–life balance

Work–life balance is the allocation of time and energy between paid work and other parts of life, including relationships, health, and personal pursuits.

Work–family conflict: A form of interrole conflict in which work and family demands make participation in one role harder. Competing work and family demands are a central source of imbalance.
Work–family balance: A person's appraisal of how well work and family roles fit together. It narrows the broader idea to the relationship between employment and family life.
Four-day workweek: A work schedule that compresses or reduces working days to four per week. It tests whether fewer workdays can improve personal time without sacrificing output.
Occupational stress: Physical and psychological strain arising from demands or conditions associated with work. Persistent imbalance can expose people to work-related stress and strain.
Work–life integration: An approach that coordinates work and personal activities rather than keeping them sharply separate. It offers a different ideal from balancing distinct spheres through separation.
Work–family enrichment: The process by which experiences in work and family roles improve the quality of life in the other role. It shows that work and life can support one another, not only compete.
Work engagement: A positive work-related state characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption. High engagement can coexist with balance, but may also intensify work's pull.
Paid parental leave: Job-protected leave with wage replacement for people caring for a new child. It gives families time for caregiving while preserving income and employment ties.
Sleep: A recurring state of reduced responsiveness and awareness that supports restoration and healthy functioning. Work schedules and after-hours demands can restrict sleep and recovery.
Workaholism: A pattern of excessive work involvement driven by an inner compulsion to work. It contrasts chosen engagement with work that persistently crowds out other life domains.
