Job Satisfaction and Organizational Behavior

In an increasingly busy and hectic society downsizing can either lead to more time and effort dedicated to profession in order to keep the current position or less involvement in work in favour of personal life, thus leaving the possibility to have a job to chance. This study examined whether marital status has an impact on work-life balance so that the organizations can conceive and implement proper motivational policies. The findings show that the four categories of employees included in the research (unmarried, married without children, married with children under 18, married with children over 18) do not have a significantly different level of work-life balance. New insights into the relationship between marital status and work-life balance are provided.
