Sirgy and Lee conducted a comprehensive study on work-life balance, which shed light on a range of personal interventions employed by selected employees to enhance their well-being and satisfaction in both their professional and personal lives. These interventions encompass five behavior-based strategies and four cognition-based strategies.

The behavior-based strategies involve engaging in multiple roles and domains, seeking opportunities for role enrichment, actively pursuing behavior-based compensation, effectively managing role conflict, and striving for role balance. On the other hand, the cognition-based strategies involve segmenting roles and domains, integrating roles and domains, considering value-based compensation, and adopting a whole-life perspective in decision-making.

This valuable volume serves as a resource for human resource managers and consultants, providing them with pedagogical material to design in-house workshops, seminars, and curricula aimed at improving the work-life balance of their employees by utilizing the personal interventions outlined in the book. By implementing these strategies, organizations can foster a healthier and more balanced work environment, leading to increased employee happiness, productivity, and overall organizational success.
