본 연구는 일과 삶의 균형(WLB : Work-Life Balance)이 대인 조화와 창의적 노력 및 조직 내 혁신 행동을 향상시키는지 여부, 그리고 대인 조화와 창의적 노력이 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)과 혁신 행동 간 관계에 간접 효과가 있는지 여부를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구의 가설 검증을 위해서는 Hayes(2013)의 PROCESS Macro를 활용하였다. 분석 결과 혁신 행동에 영향을 주는 것은 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인 조화 그리고 창의적 노력으로 나타났고 대인 조화에 영향을 주는 변수는 일과 가정의 균형(WLB_F)과 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)으로 나타났다. 또한 창의적 노력에 영향을 미치는 변수는 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인 조화였다. WLB의 세 개 하위 변수와 혁신 행동 사이의 관계에서 대인 조화와 창의적 노력의 간접 효과 역시 일부 확인 되었다. 더불어 PROCESS Macro 분석을 통하여 매개변수 간의 효과의 크기를 알아보았다. 이를 통해 일과 가정의 균형(WLB_F)이나 일과 성장의 균형(WLB_G)과 대인조화, 창의적 행동 및 혁신행동 간에는 시너지 관계가 존재하고, 일과 여가의 균형(WLB_L)과 대인조화, 창의적 노력 및 혁신행동 간에는 배타적 관계가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 향후 다양한 다른 산업 간의 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)에 대한 연구와 일과 삶의 균형(WLB)과 혁신행동에 이르는 다양한 매개변수에 대한 연구가 기대된다.

This study analyzes the effects of the work-life balance of physical therapists on their job enthusiasm. Totally, 109 physical therapists at U city were enrolled in this study. Frequency analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were the preferred methods of analysis, performed using the SPSS 22.0 program. Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the causal relationship between variables. Our results confirmed that work-family conflict and family-work conflict, which are sub-factors of a work-life balance, did not significantly affect job enthusiasm. Moreover, both the work-family promotion and home-work promotion factors of work-life balance had a positively significant effect on job enthusiasm. This indicates that the work-life balance-conflict factor does not influence the job enthusiasm of a physical therapist. Moreover, a higher work-life balance-promotion of work-family promotion and home-work promotion factor, inculcates a higher job enthusiasm. We believe that results of this study will serve as basic data to formulate plans for physical therapists to maintain an appropriate work-life balance, thereby enhancing their job enthusiasm.

This research is to analyze the mediating effect of product innovation between work-life balance (work-family balance, work-leisure balance and work-development balance) and corporate performance in venture SMEs. We test four hypothesis. First, we test the hypothesis that work-life balance has a positive effect on product innovation. Second, we test the hypothesis that product innovation has a positive effect on corporate performance. Third, we test the hypothesis that work-life balance has a positive effect on corporate performance. Fourth, we test a positive mediating role of product innovation between work-life balance and corporate performance. For this research, we administered the questionnaire surveys, and got the 162 effective data of korean venture SMEs. We use CFA and SEM analysis of research model by AMOS 18.0. As a result, we can find the four meaningful results. First, work-life balance, especially only work-development balance, has a positive effect on product innovation. Second, product innovation has a positive effect on corporate performance. Third, the relationships between work-life balance (work-family balance, work-leisure balance and work-development balance) and corporate performance are no significant after the mediating variable (product innovation) is added. Fourth, product innovation has a positive mediating effect between work-life balance, especially only work-development balance, and corporate performance. Although this research has some limitations of generalization because of the limited size of samples, we has meaningful information related to the venture companies in the academic and business field. Additionally, the Multiple Indicator Multiple Cause(MIMIC) model is recommended in the future research.

The purposes of this study were to develop work-life balance supportive organizational culture scale(WLB supportive organizational culture) and to verify it's validity. We reviewed comprehensive studies about work-life balance and organizational culture as well as scales related to them. We theoretically extracted some important factors of WLB organizational culture from reviews and then made 38 preliminary questions. 773 married workers in their 30s to 50s were responded to a questionnaire consisted of 38 preliminary questions and 9 variables(work-life balance, quality of life, job satisfaction, turnover etc) for criterion related validity verification. As the results of factor analysis such as EFA and CFA, we could confirm five factors including WLB organizational management, WLB supportive supervisors, empathetic communication with coworkers, coworkers' material support to WLB and accessibility to WLB programs. Second, correlation analyses were performed to investigate the validation of this scale. In result, it was revealed that the WLB supportive organizational culture scale was highly correlated with other family supportive organizational culture measures as well as dependent variables such as work-life balance, quality of life, job satisfaction, turnover. We expect this study contribute to improve the quality of studies about work-life balance and organizational culture.

This study attempted to explore the experience related to the work-family balance of working moms during the COVID-19 period. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted by recruiting 17 part-time and full-time working moms with at least 1 child under the age of 13. As a result of analyzing the data using the method of grounded theory, 106 concepts, 50 subcategories, and 24 categories were derived. The central phenomenon that working moms experienced in the process of work and family balance were "physical and emotional exhaustion", "anxiety and guilt about not doing well in situations of role conflicts between various roles", "job crisis experienced by working mothers" and "deepening family conflicts". The process of working moms overcoming the central phenomenon and achieving work-family balance was identified as five stages: the 'shock and confusion stage', the 'struggling stage', the 'actively coping and making compromise stages', the 'acceptance stage', and the 'post-traumatic growth stage'. Based on these results, discussions on the work-family balance of working mothers during the COVID-19 period was dealt as well as suggestions for follow-up studies.

We examined the moderator roles of negative belief in emotional expression and emotional clarity between work-life balance and psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety and somatization). Also we identified gender differences in their moderating effects. This study was based on a sample of 869 married working employees (man: 424, women: 445). Hierarchical moderated regression analyses showed that work-life balance, negative belief in emotional expression and emotional clarity were strongly associated with depression, anxiety and somatization. While negative belief in emotional expression significantly moderated the relationship between work-life balance and depression and anxiety, emotional clarity showed no significance. We found gender differences in moderating effects of two moderators. In specific, the only women who had more negative belief in emotional expression were more psychological symptoms in a low work-life balance situation. On the other hand, the only men who had higher emotional clarity were less depressive and anxious under the conditions of high work-life balance. We discussed about implications of these results.

This study investigates the effects on the performance of women workers' work-family relationship. As reduced conflict with maintain a harmonious relationship between work and family of women workers, improving the quality of work of women workers, look into an effective support system for maximizing the effectiveness of women workers. The final sample size for this study was 500. The results were as follows. First, the harmonious relationship between work and family have significant positive effects on the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of women workers. This implies that companies should make an effort to maintain harmonious work-family relationship for women employees and can enhance individual atisfaction and ultimately lead to corporate performance. Second, according to the result of verifying the second hypothesis that conflictive work-family relationship will affect employees' satisfaction negatively, there was partial support. In other words, conflictive work-family relationship influenced job satisfaction negatively, but it showed no correlation with organizational commitment. This result suggests that it has direct relationship with the job that is being actually carried out and indirect relationship with the organization. Third, based on the result of verifying the hypothesis on the moderate effect of non-occupational supporting systems which proved to be partially moderate effect. In short, this study has proved the importance of women workers' work-family relationship. Furthermore, the study results imply that it is necessary to establish supporting systems to minimize women workers' conflictive work-family relationship. It is also particularly urgent for companies to make non-occupational supporting systems.

This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the intentions of employed married women, aged 19 and above, with no prior experience of childbirth, to give birth to their first child. First, the intention of employed married women to give birth to their first child showed a moderate level of inclination, with slightly higher scores reflected in the subvariables of perceived marital value and perceived child value both within family values, while the effect of perceived gender role value was generally higher than the midpoint. Perception of work-life balance was generally a moderate influence, with the subvariable of balancing work and family being slightly higher than the midpoint in terms of influence. Second, the intention to give birth to a first child was clearly associated with the level of education and showed a positive correlation. However, this intention was negatively correlated with age, perceived child values, perceived marital values, and residential tenure. Third, pregnancy intention was influenced by age, educational level, perceived value of children, perceived value of marrriage, and work-life balance. This study provides meaningful assistance in understanding current low birth rate by gathering data on the preferences of married working women in relation to childbirth and by presenting the diverse perspectives of the women.
