Introduction High performance in a job leads to high satisfaction. Many employees relate work with life’s fulfillment, and connect their satisfaction at work with their feelings and satisfaction in life, and happiness with their family. Satisfaction in the workplace means happiness at home and fulfillment in life. Work and life balance suggests a balance for life and what people do. There has to be a blending equality that includes work, family, pleasure, fulfillment, and satisfaction. Some skeptics suggest however that there is actually no relation between life and work. What works in the workplace has no correlation with what is happening at home. But recent surveys and experiences revealed that organizations adopting family-friendly and work-life balance policies and programmes motivate employees to be more productive and further create satisfaction among family-oriented employees. Work-life balance has been given much attention lately because this has convinced employers of its economic benefits and of the need for change. When it comes to the see-saw metaphor between life and work, most people in the workplace put more weight in favor of work. But there are a lot of workers who are dissatisfied with their jobs. Literature Review Work and life balance is achieved “when an individual’s right to a fulfilled life inside and outside paid work is accepted and respected as the norm, to the mutual benefit of the individual, business and society”. (McIntosh, 2003, p. 181) Greenhaus, Collins, and Shaw (2003), made a study on work-family balance, and found that work-family balance has some connection to the quality of life of employees and managers. They argued that, “when individuals invest relatively little of their time or involvement in their combined work and family roles, or when they derive little satisfaction from their combined roles, work-family balance is unrelated to quality of life” (p. 525). Employees who work more time at work for reasons such as material return, have no valuable time for their family. They spend more working hours which deprive them of more precious time for the family. One reason is that they have to earn more so they can pay for their debts. (Schor, 1991, p. 17, as cited in White, Hill, McGovern, Mills, & Smeaton, 2007, p. 177) Schor’s (1991) study states that those who work more have a ‘time squeeze’, or in other words, they have less time for other personal pursuits, like spending time with their families at home. Working men are in a dilemma; they realize that more time is needed at home with their children, but they also have to work and spend more time in order to earn. They love their family and their home, they want to have more precious hours with their families, but they also want to work, as they find satisfaction in work. (Burke, 2000, p. 81) Satisfaction in life inside and outside of work is important for the employees and employers as well. (Haar, Spell, & O’Driscoll, 2009, p. 200) The issue of housework and childcare has become one topic for discussion when it comes to working women. With the demographic workforce now changing, i.e. there are more women working in factories and offices, employees are now turned between which one to choose first – work or home. There are the mothers reinforcing the workforce demographic, and the problem is who will take care of the home an
