EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING THE WORK-LIFE BALANCE CONCEPT IN AN AGILE ORGANIZATION.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to assess the actions supporting the concept of work-life balance (WLB) in agile organizations. Strategies that support a harmonious combination of work and private life while maintaining organizational agility are analyzed. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted using a survey method on a sample of 303 respondents, supplemented by multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), which allowed for a detailed examination of the perception of activities supporting WLB and their mutual relations. Findings: Key findings indicate that activities related to flexible solutions tailored to employee needs and rapid response to their needs are perceived as the most important elements supporting WLB in agile organizations. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study is that it was conducted in a specific organizational and geographical context, which may affect the generalizability of the results to other sectors or regions. Practical implications: The study results provide practical guidance for agile organizations on how to effectively implement actions supporting WLB, especially in the area of flexibility and organizational culture. Social implications: Promoting WLB in organizations contributes to improved employee wellbeing, reduced stress and increased engagement, which translates into social benefits such as greater employment stability and social life balance. Originality/value: The originality of the article lies in combining the perspective of agile organizations with the analysis of activities supporting WLB, which fills the gap in the literature and provides new conclusions in the context of a dynamic work environment.
