What do you do with your time? A Work-Life Balance study

The present study proposed to expand the studies about the Work-Life Balance theme. In order to do so, it sought to verify if the characteristics of the employees and the flexibility of the working day proposed by a technology company of Greater Florianopolis reflect in the perception of adequate time management and, respectively, the balance between personal and work life) of employees. The methodology used is characterized by the objective as descriptive, and the data collection was performed with the application of a questionnaire, through the "Google Forms" virtual platform. The data, which resulted from the return of 38 questionnaires, were initially analyzed in a descriptive way, which allowed the identification of a young and childless profile of the employees, and their perception about the adequate management of time and the balance between personal and work life. Based on the Mann-Whitney U test, it was shown that the difference in training area and age were statistically significant with regard to sleep time (time management variable), as well as training seems to influence the balance between personal and work life (for the variable reduction of workload with proportional reduction of salary). The flexibilization of the working hours by the company does not seem to exert influence on the perception of the employees regarding the management of time and balance of personal and labor life. This result can be justified by the policy of promoting a relaxed working environment on the part of the company to all employees.
