Work-life balance u zakladatelů startupů

This thesis focuses on the balance between work and personal life of entrepreneurs, founders of startups in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main goal of the work is to evaluate their approach to the concept of work-life balance using in-depth interviews with 16 founders. The result of the research showed that startup founders approach managing the boundaries between work and personal life in different ways, with the main strategies being work under pressure, where rational analysis of situations and effective planning play a key role. Respondents often perceived the boundary between work and personal life as unclear or non-existent, while for many of them work was an inseparable part of their identity and a source of fulfillment. The statements differed in their preference for integrating both spheres into one whole or creating clear boundaries between them. These differences confirmed that the perception of the work-life balance concept is strongly influenced by individual preferences and personal priorities. The processed statements can serve for future research in this area, as well as inspiration for the founders themselves.
