Constructs of the Work/ Life Interface: A Synthesis of the Literature and Introduction of the Concept of Work/Life Harmony (2011, methodology): “The greatest strength in the current research is the zeal of researchers in attempting to create a single-construct definition and measures to evaluate it (e.g., Dex & Bond, 2005; Frone, 2003; Greenhaus et al., 2003).”
Reported Levels of Time-based and Strain-based Conflict Between Work and Family Roles in Europe: A Multilevel Approach (2009, background): “Risk factors for the onset of work-life imbalance are typically assumed to include long, unsocial or unpredictable work hours, high work pressure and the absence of supportive work-life policies (Byron 2005; Voyandoff 2004; Batt and Valcour 2003; Dex and Bond 2005 ), while the feared consequences i”
Determinants of Work-life Balance: Shortcomings in the Contemporary Measurement of WLB in Large-scale Surveys (2009, background): “Crompton and Lyonette 2006; Dex and Bond 2005 ).”
Work-Life Balance and Employees' Performance: The Mediating Role of Affective Commitment (2014, background): “Dex and Bond (2005) found that Checkscale7 is the proper scale to predict employees’ work-life balance scores regardless of their age, gender, work position, and work hours.”
The quality of employment and decent work: definitions, methodologies, and ongoing debates (2014, background): “…selected employment conditions that are conducive to a better quality of working life is built upon a solid theoretical foundation and a large body of empirical work (Adams et al, 2000; Dex and Bond, 2005; Gallie et al, 2004; Green, 2006; Kalleberg, 2011; Olsen and Kalleberg, 2004; Rose, 2003).”
High-involvement work processes, work intensification and employee well-being (2008, background): “Measuring the ‘hours worked’ over some defined time period is not uncommon in studies of work intensification and work–life balance (e.g., Dex and Bond 2005; Frone, Yardley, and Markel 1997; White et al. 2003).”
In search of the perfect manager? Work-life balance and managerial work (2011, background): “Rather than provide a broad critique of current debates (see Calan, 2007; Dex and Bond, 2005; Fleetwood, 2007; Healy, 2004; Hyman et al., 2005; Warhurst et al., 2008b), the focus here is on the value of exploring public sector managers and managing in relation to WLB debates.”
Methodological choices in work-life balance research 1987 to 2006: a critical review (2010, background): “Work-life balance, as an inclusive term, has also become a commonly used descriptor amongst academic researchers in the area, being the subject of recent international, multidisciplinary conferences and commonly appearing in the titles of books and journal articles (eg, Crooker, Smith and Tabak 200”
Work–life balance: One size fits all? An exploratory analysis of the differential effects of career stage (2012, background): “This assertion is supported by Dex and Bond (2005) who found that long working hours (48 h per week) had the largest effect on work–life imbalance.”
