‘I'm Home for the Kids’: Contradictory Implications for Work–Life Balance of Teleworking Mothers (2008, neutral): “Others believe that work–life balance is a subjective issue (Guest, 2001; Nippert-Eng, 1996) that requires consideration of other life © 2008 The Author(s) Volume 15 Number 5 September 2008 Journal compilation © 2008 Blackwell Publishing Ltd spheres, including personal time and space, care time and…”
Overview of work-life balance discourse and its relevance in current economic scenario (2010, methodology): “To arrive to a summary of work-life balance discourse we can refer to Guest (2002), who presented a compilation of five individual theories to illustrate the association between work and life outside the workplace.”
Weekly job crafting and leisure crafting: Implications for meaning‐making and work engagement (2017, methodology): “…versus spillover perspective Our expectation and finding around the moderating effect of job crafting opportunities seem to comply with the compensation hypothesis within the work–leisure domain (Guest, 2002), suggesting that people pursue in one domain what they cannot find in another domain.”
Work‐life balance, travel‐to‐work, and the dual career household (2012, background): “Guest (2002) argues, that in the context of work and life, balance does not refer to an equal weighting of the two, but rather an acceptable, stable relationship.”
High-involvement work processes, work intensification and employee well-being (2008, background): “Interestingly, while Guest (2002) finds a strong correlation between longer working hours and reports of work–life imbalance, employees whose jobs had more scope for autonomy and participation had less imbalance.”
Crafting one’s leisure time in response to high job strain (2016, background): “Regarding the way work interferes with leisure, two hypotheses have dominated the literature, namely, the spillover and the compensation hypothesis (Guest, 2002; Snir and Harpaz, 2002).”
Outcomes of work–life balance on job satisfaction, life satisfaction and mental health: a study across seven cultures (2014, result): “Work-life balance (WLB) is a central concern in everyday discourses (Greenhaus & Allen, 2011; Greenhaus, Collins, & Shaw, 2003; Guest, 2002; Kossek, Valcour, & Lirio, 2014; Maertz & Boyar, 2011).”
The impact of emotional labor on employees’ work-life balance perception and commitment: A study in the hospitality industry (2017, background): “Additionally, the literature claims the existence of a spillover effect between professional and private life (e.g., Edwards and Rothbard, 2000; Guest, 2002; Ilies et al., 2009), thus assuming a mutual influence between the two domains.”
The constraints of a ‘work–life balance’ approach: an international perspective (2007, background): “These pressures and associated metaphors have been variously attributed to new forms of work and working patterns, or the lure of consumerism and accumulation (Beem, 2005 ; Bunting, 2004 ) that engender a feeling of work and non-work ‘imbalance’ (Guest, 2002 ).”
Promoting frontline employees' quality of life: Leisure benefit systems and work-to-leisure conflicts (2013, methodology): “On the other hand, Guest (2002) suggested a model of work-life balance where work and life satisfaction are the consequences of balanced work-life domains.”
