Presenting a positive model of work-life balance with a hybrid approach

The aim of this study was to provide a positive model of work-life balance with a hybrid approach. The statistical population of this study included thinkers and experts on work-life balance. The sampling method was purposeful and non-random, 15 people were selected as the target population. This research has been done using the meta-combined method. In this way, after a framework review of the research and through reputable sites and documents during the last twenty years, among the first and most researched articles, 22 articles that were most related to the present research have been selected for analysis. Then, after examining the extracted concepts and summarizing them, 128 purified codes have been obtained. Then, from the extracted concepts of the research with the theoretical consensus of experts to organize the existing indicators, 26 main components in the design mechanism of a positive model of work-life balance have been explained. The results of this study have shown that the positive dimension includes the components of precedence, outcome and work-life balance strategies as components that strengthen the work-life balance. The innovation of this research has been presenting a comprehensive model of the results of previous extensive studies. According to the model obtained in the research, by strengthening the positive dimension, organizations can benefit in order to promote satisfaction and productivity and appropriate use in organizational decisions and improve the quality of working life.
