There is increasing evidence of the importance of work-life balance for individual, familial and organisational health. Research has identified that both time demands and increased inter-role conflict between work and non-work domains are significant antecedents of work-life imbalance. This research assessed how time demands, actual hours spent at work, hours spent caring for dependants; organisational time expectations (time employees are required to be visibly at work) and access to flexible employment policies influenced levels of work-life balance, job satisfaction and turnover intentions. A total of 3,324 employees, from a range of occupations returned a self-report questionnaire. Approximately 50% of respondents indicated that they would prefer to be employed for fewer hours. These respondents also reported significantly low levels of work-life balance and job satisfaction and high levels of psychological strain and turnover, compared to employees who were satisfied with their current work hours. Implications for employee well-being, family outcomes and employment policies focused on a healthy work-life culture are discussed.
