Abstract
This study reviewed sampling choices in 245 empirical work-life balance papers published in a range of discipline-based peer-reviewed journals between 1987 and 2006. Results showed that sampling choice in much previous literature is somewhat constrained, with a disproportionate emphasis on married, co-habiting and heterosexual parents, professional / managerial and higher skilled workers and derived from educational institutions and the public sector. Researchers should also be more transparent in providing rationales for their choices of organizations or group lists used to target respondents. Work-life balance research could also be expanded in non-industrialized countries with a greater emphasis on cross-cultural comparisons of phenomena.
Citations:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
