摘要
The present paper investigated the relationship between work-life balance programs (WLBPs) and business outcomes at the organizational level. First, we examined the effect of WLBPs on organizational profitability (revenues minus expenditures per employee). Second, we extended the discussion on the job demands-resources (JD-R) model by considering how and why WLBPs can mitigate nonjob demands. Specifically, we tested the moderating role of the availability and use of WLBPs in the WLBPs-organizational profitability relationship. We found that both availability and use of WLBPs moderate the WLBPs-profitability relationship. We discussed implications of the findings.
