The major objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview on the aforementioned issue. In the theoretical part, the concept of Work-Life Balance is defined and set in a broader thematic context. The issue is viewed primarily from the perspective of the needs of the worker. In the context of empirical research, interviews with six foreign managers operating in the Czech Republic were conducted. Subsequently, through a content analysis their respective stories, experiences and interpretations of WLB were sorted into thematic blocks and similarities and differences were described. The conclusion of the study contains several recommendations for the both sides (organizations and workers). |
