Summary
In this chapter we discuss how people try to achieve work-life balance and maintain a semblance of life satisfaction by allotting more time, energy, and financial resources in roles and life domains that can produce more personal happiness. Conversely, they decrease their involvement in roles and domains that are dissatisfying. We also discuss intervention programs that organizations can use to help their employees achieve greater work-life balance through behavior-based compensation.
