Tiivistelmä
Work-life balance is a pressing issue in the current workplace environment. Failure to address it by both employees and employers results in a multitude of long-lasting consequences, which primarily stem from improper communication and misalignment of expectations with realities for both parties. Therefore, a practical explanation of work-life balance is needed, and expectations of it must be laid out.
In that regard, this study aimed to explore in-depth the phenomenon of work-life balance and its current action. Furthermore, the present study aimed to understand young talents' expectations from their work-life balance in 2021 with projections to the year 2026.
To reach the above objectives, the author has chosen the triangulation method. Therefore, survey and interviews were carried out with 80 responses for the former and three organized group discussions with a total of 7 participants for the latter.
The selected research methods' implementation allowed the author to gain valuable insights about expectations and factors affecting the work-life balance of the sample group. Additionally, Pearson correlation was used to identify correlations and their significance between certain survey variables. To that extent, the current study has indicated significant correlations between gender, supervision, salary expectations and education, among other. The qualitative data added value by providing the researcher with deeper understanding of the factors and expectations affecting the views of the studied population.
