Work-Life Balance Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

Work-Life Balance Scale

The Work-Life Balance Scale (WLBS) is an 18-item instrument measuring the degree of conflict and enrichment between work and non-work life domains. Developed by Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams in 2000, the WLBS assesses three dimensions of work-family conflict (time-based, strain-based, behavior-based) and their inverse relationship to work-family enrichment.
