Figure 9.
The diagram presents a conceptual framework for work family balance surrounded by four types of analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis highlights dominant categories including social science, psychology, management and business, and economics, along with emerging categories in environmental science and medicine. Cooperative analysis lists relevant topics such as physical health, social support, regional work family balance, dual career work family balance, definition of work family balance concept, and theoretical development of work family balance. Theories include role theory, family system theory, job demands resources model, and conservation of resources theory. Co-occurrence analysis identifies topics such as the impact of gender and social support on work family conflict, impact of job demands and personal resources on work family conflict, and enrichment among roles. Theories listed are boundary theory, job demands resources model, work family enrichment theory, and conservation of resources theory. Co-citation analysis highlights topics such as role expectations, workplace, and family supportive supervisor behaviour. Theories include role theory and conservation of resources theory. Arrows connect the sections to the central theme of work family balance, emphasising conflict versus enrichment logics, individual versus institution focus, and gendered versus gender neutral perspectives.Work-family balance knowledge framework
