Fundamental Part

Work-Life Balance (WLB) is recognized as a fundamental part of people’s well-being and prioritized in European policy making. Until recently, little attention was given to the role of economic inequality in people's inferences of WLB. In Study 1, we experimentally tested and confirmed a) the effect of economic inequality on WLB, and b) the role of status anxiety in mediating this relationship. In Study 2, we provided a replication and advancement of Study 1 by manipulating socioeconomic class in addition to economic inequality. Results showed that in the inequality condition, people expected less WLB through a partial mediation of status anxiety and competitiveness. We also found that class mattered, with economic inequality mainly affecting participants in the low-class condition. In sum, economic inequality enhanced participants’ competitiveness and concern about their social status, which in turn affected WLB. This demonstrates the need for policies promoting WLB in those countries characterized by high inequality.

Abstract As a result of the scandals in organizations like Enron, Arthur Anderson and WorldCom in addition to the 2008 global economic crisis, management scholars and practitioners have started to ask about the adequacy of current styles of leadership. Many management academic experts have realized that focusing only on maximizing shareholder profit is no longer acceptable as a sole business target. This has fostered the emergence of responsible leadership in the last 7 years as an attempt to fulfill both shareholders and stakeholders well-being. Over the past two decades there has been a growing awareness of labor market participation and feminist active lobbying, and the concept “work-life balance” has come to be considered a buzzword in both management and organization studies. Moreover, the concept has also gained a rising significance owing to its positive correlation with individual and organizational performance. This study focuses on public hospital in Menoufia province (Egypt) and investigates the effect of responsible leadership dimensions (aggregate of virtues, stakeholder involvement, model of leader’s role and principles of ethical values) on forms of work-life balance of pharmacists (time-based balance/imbalance, strain-based balance/imbalance and behavior-based balance/imbalance). Having collected and analyzed 230 questionnaire forms and used hierarchical regression analysis, the researcher found that only the aggregate of virtues is not considered a significant statistical predictor of the three forms of work-life balance/imbalance, whereas the other 3 dimensions of responsible leadership were found to be strong determinants of the 3 forms of work-life balance/imbalance.

The Relationship

Although gender equality is increasingly promoted both in the workplace and in society, and women have now fully entered the workforce, the issue of gender differences in relation to career advancement still seems open. Although gender roles no longer clearly define who is responsible for home care and who is responsible for job duties, some research shows that the conflict between family and work life appears to be a greater problem for women than for men. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between career opportunities, work–life balance, and well-being perception separately in both female (n = 499) and male (n = 557) respondents in order to shed light on the role of gender. A multi-group analysis showed that the structural paths of the models differ by gender. For women, the relationships between career opportunities and work–life balance and between career opportunities and the perception of general health have significantly lower values compared to results from the group of men, while the perception of work–life balance affects well-being more significantly when compared to the male counterpart. Implications on the importance of the connection between career and the valorization of personal life duties are further discussed.
