The concept of Work-Life-Study Balance among working students

This thesis investigates the current state of the work-life-study balance among employed university students at a selected consulting firm operating in the Czech Republic and identifies specific recommendations for achieving a state of life balance. The work also focuses on strategies that students use to achieve balance. The theoretical part defines the main concepts of WLB and WLSB, theories, consequences of imbalance, and strategies for achieving WLB. Primary data were obtained through qualitative analysis in the form of in depth interviews with 10 respondents. Subsequently, the data are analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The research results are presented in the form of two clusters of themes: experiences with working in audit during studies and tips and strategies for achieving WLSB. The research showed that although many respondents do not see work as their highest priority, in reality, they spend most of their time at work. Work often encroaches on personal life, leading to a lack of energy for hobbies and social activities, and in some cases negatively affects the respondents' health. Most respondents feel a positive impact of employment on their studies in the form of utilizing their studies and less procrastination. The findings can help both students considering a career in audit and companies in optimizing their policies to improve employee satisfaction.
