Research Abstract |
Work life balance (hereafter WLB) is both a matter of Human Resource Management and a matter of way of working. It is because a worker has to decide where he puts his work in his life sphere. This leads to a new way of working which is different from the past one. Organizations are required to support workers both institutionally and non-institutionally, and managers' role would be most important among the non-institutional supports. The principle of workplace design is also required to change; not only how to design the effective workplace but also how to design the "workplace tailored to workers' needs". Such workplace, however, has not yet been widespread as it is now.
