Work-Life Balance

Every organization is like a delicate ecosystem. It needs to be nurtured with care and concern just as a natural ecosystem is ecologically nurtured. For this, organizational behavior is the instrument. Organizational behavior is the study of human behavior in organizational settings including the interface of human beings among themselves, the interface of human beings with their and other external organizations, and the behavior of organizations with respect to individuals and other organizations.



Individual behavior is an integral part of organizational behavior. As individuals and organizations devote the needed attention to the subject, the challenging issue of work–life balance is resolved. This major work on organizational behavior, with its ninety chapters, is divided into fifteen sections, each of which deals with a specific theme relating to factors impacting and is impacted by organizational behavior. This book provides multiple constructs that facilitate optimal work–life balance.



This book will serve as a companion text for students and faculty specializing in organizational behavior and general management. Academicians, industry managers, and leaders as well as administrators and policy makers will find this book a useful thought-primer and guide for effective organizational management. More importantly, the several propositions made in the book would help individuals and institutions achieve competitive strength, emotional stability, and self-actualization through optimal work–life balance.
