Abstract | This chapter will examine the antecedents to and outcomes of corporate work-life balance initiative usage among professionals, as well as equity concerns and “backlash” among non-users of such initiatives. Interconnecting influences such as gender, diversity, values, and dispositional characteristics will be explored, and their role in the use and effectiveness of corporate work-life balance initiatives analysed. The chapter will seek to highlight some of the implications of the research for policy implementation, with an aim to improving the likelihood of work-life balance initiatives achieving their intended purpose among managers and professionals: enhancing work-life balance and strengthening performance on the job. |
