Abstract
The retrospection of literature on Work-Life Balance has been framed in light of its growing popularity, with the primary goal of achieving societal prosperity and the realization of fulfilling lives for its employees by supporting each employee's growth and the continuous development of the organization. Achieving personal and professional/organizational goals requires equal balance in both work and personal life. Because imbalances harm both personal and professional lives, it is critical to maintain a healthy balance between the two. In recent years, the phrase has evolved from terms such as work-life Stress, work-family conflict or interference, work-life compensation, work-life segmentation, work-life growth, and lastly, work-life balance. In today's environment, WLB is a crucial source of concern for employees, as extended work hours drain employees' productivity and time that they would otherwise dedicate to their families. The changing economy and today's competitive climate directly impact people's lifestyles, making them more demanding. As a result, working hands seek a healthy balance between job and personal life. This problem is now well recognized, and understanding it is essential at the individual level. The researcher looked at the literature on employee's work-life balance (WLB) in terms of the importance of WLB, theories of WLB, determinants of WLB, facilitators of WLB, coping techniques for WLB, WLB, and performance, and finally, WLB's repercussions. In the context of Work-life Balance and its practices/policies, the literature recognizes its impact on various quality of life conditions such as Job Satisfaction, Job Stress, Career Satisfaction, Turnover Intention, Absenteeism, Appreciation, and competitive environment. Through a survey of available literature, an attempt has been made to present an overview of several aspects of Work-Life Balance in this paper. Various journals, books, doctorate theses, working papers, reports, periodicals, internet sites, newspapers, and other sources have been cited as references at the end of the article.
