Research Project: Work-Life balance| Top

Work-Life balance is the individual perception that work and non-work activities are compatible, and promote growth in accordance with an individual's current life priorities.

This three year longitudinal project (2007-2009) was initiated by Dr Paula Brough (Griffith University, Australia) and jointly managed by the Australian National University (Canberra), the University of Waikato (New Zealand), Lingnan University (Hong Kong) and University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong).

This research project will validate a new work-life balance measure and identify which work-life policies are of most value to workers and employers. This research involves 4 locations: Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and China and will involve over 20,000 employees.
