dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the complex dynamics of work-life balance among working women in Cyprus, emphasizing the influence of personal and organizational factors. By analyzing variables such as age, relationship status, motherhood status, work hours, and perceptions of organizational support, the research uncovers significant correlations that illuminate the challenges and facilitators of achieving work-life balance. Key findings include a significant negative correlation between motherhood and the perception that work demands interfere with personal/family life, and strong positive correlations between the availability of flexible work arrangements, their utilization, and their perceived positive impact on work-life balance. Additionally, a notable positive correlation exists between satisfaction with organizational support for work-life balance and the utilization of support programs. The study underscores the importance of flexible work policies and a supportive organizational culture in promoting work-life balance. Implications for policy and practice include enhancing organizational policies, providing targeted support for working mothers, offering training and development, implementing regular feedback mechanisms, and promoting employee well-being initiatives. Despite limitations such as the small sample size and reliance on self-reported data, the findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, organizational leaders, and human resource professionals aiming to enhance work-life balance for working women in Cyprus and beyond. | en |
