Life friendly human
resource policies and practices are offered in the workplace to ameliorate the
conflict between work and personal life. It has been well documented that an
employee’s inability to balance work and non-work related responsibilities has
resulted in negative consequences such as increased stress related illnesses.
Accordingly, this study examines the relationship between an employee’s self
report of the helpfulness of life friendly policies and his or her level of
work/life balance. It is hypothesized that the perception of the helpfulness of
available life friendly policies will predict self report ratings of work/life
balance.
