Summary
This chapter covers the research focusing on how employees use a behavior-based personal intervention to balance their work life with other important life domains such as family life, social life, and leisure life. This personal intervention involves role engagement in multiple roles and domains. Role engagement can be implemented through (1) increasing role involvement in a manner consistent with life priorities, (2) engaging in multiple life domains to achieve positive balance, and (3) engaging in important roles with harmonious passion. We also discuss intervention programs that organizations can institutionalize to achieve higher levels of employee work-life balance through role engagement.
