Abstract
This article examines how employee perceptions of supervisory and organizational support for work-life balance, in addition to the number of work-life balance programmes available, predict a number of work-life balance outcomes including role conflict, job satisfaction, family satisfaction and turnover intentions in a sample of large private and public sector organizations in Ireland. The attitudes of HR managers towards work-life balance programmes are also explored. To account for the nested structure of the data, analyses were conducted using hierarchical linear modelling. We found that perceptions of work-life supportiveness as measured at the HR manager and immediate supervisor levels affect employee uptake of work-life programmes, employee work-life balance outcomes and turnover intentions.
