    • Η ισορροπία επαγγελματικής και προσωπικής ζωής αφορά την εξισορρόπηση των απαιτήσεων της εργασιακής και προσωπικής ζωής. Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι ν’ αποκαλύψει την ισορροπία αυτή στην Ελλάδα, τόσο στο δημόσιο, όσο και στον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Η ισορροπία εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής μετράται με κλίμακες διαμάχης προσωπικής ζωής - εργασίας, διαμάχης εργασίας - προσωπικής ζωής, ικανοποίησης από την προσωπικής ζωή και από την εργασία, καθώς και ψυχικής υγείας. Επιπλέον, η ισορροπία αυτή επηρεάζεται και από τυχόν παροχές από τους εργοδότες για τη διευκόλυνση της ισορροπίας εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής. Η Ελλάδα έχει το χαμηλότερο δείκτη ισορροπίας εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και έναν από τους χαμηλότερους παγκοσμίως. Στη μελέτη αυτή πραγματοποιήθηκε ποσοτική έρευνα, μέσω ερωτηματολογίου, η οποία απέδωσε μοναδικά πρωτογενή δεδομένα. Το ερωτηματολόγιο συμπληρώθηκε από 237 εργαζόμενους στην Ελλάδα και τα ευρήματα επιβεβαιώνουν ότι το επίπεδο ισορροπίας εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής είναι χαμηλό, ενώ καταδεικνύουν ότι ο δημόσιος τομέας χαίρει ελαφρώς υψηλότερου επιπέδου. Αναφορικά με τις παροχές διευκόλυνσης ισορροπίας εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής, καταγράφτηκαν διαφορές μεταξύ των τομέων, ιδιαίτερα ως προς το είδος αυτών. Όσον αφορά τη διαμάχη προσωπικής-εργασιακής ζωής δεν υπήρξαν σημαντικές διαφορές ανάλογα με τον τομέα, ωστόσο ο ιδιωτικός τομέας φαίνεται να αντιμετωπίζει υψηλότερα επίπεδα διαμάχης εργασίας-προσωπικής ζωής. Και, παρόλο που ο τομέας δεν επιδρά στην ικανοποίηση από την προσωπική ζωή, οι δημόσιοι υπάλληλοι στην Ελλάδα πιστεύουν ότι η προσωπική τους ζωή βρίσκεται κοντά στο ιδανικό, σε αντίθεση με τους εργαζόμενους στον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Ωστόσο, η ικανοποίηση από την εργασία είναι υψηλότερη στον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Ο δημόσιος τομέας παρουσιάζει υψηλότερο επίπεδο ψυχικής υγείας, σε σύγκριση με τον ιδιωτικό, ο οποίος αντιμετωπίζει μεγαλύτερο άγχος. Καθώς το ερωτηματολόγιο διανεμήθηκε και συμπληρώθηκε κατά την περίοδο εφαρμογής των μέτρων πρόληψης διασποράς του νέου κορωναϊού (Απρίλιος 2020), προστέθηκαν σε αυτό σχετικές ερωτήσεις, από τις απαντήσεις στις οποίες, όμως δεν αποδεικνύεται ότι ο τομέας επηρέασε την ισορροπία εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής κατά τη διάρκεια των μέτρων. Η παρούσα μελέτη αποκαλύπτει την κατάσταση (αν)ισορροπίας εργασιακής-προσωπικής ζωής στην Ελλάδα στο δημόσιο και ιδιωτικό τομέα και μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ως κίνητρο για περαιτέρω μελέτες.
    • Work - life balance is about balancing between working and personal life demands. The purpose of this study is to reveal the situation concerning work - life balance in Greece in both public and private sector. Life - work conflict, work - life conflict, satisfaction from family life and work, together with psychological health, measure the level of work - life balance. Relevant facilitation benefits provided by the employer also influence the level of balance. Greece is reported to have the lowest level of work - life balance among EU countries and one of the lowest internationally. The quantitative survey conveyed for this study, generated a unique dataset of primary data. The prepared questionnaire was answered by 237 employees working in Greece. Findings confirm that the level of work - life balance in Greece is low and that the public sector seems to have a slightly better work - life balance than the private one. Differences in the work - life facilitation benefits have been recorded, indicating different types of benefits for each sector. There is no significant difference between the two sectors concerning family - work conflict, whereas the private sector faces greater work - family conflict. Although family satisfaction is not affected by the sector, Greek public sector’s employees believe that their personal lives are close to their ideal, in contrast with the employees of the private sector. However, job satisfaction is reported to be higher in the private sector. The public sector reports higher level of psychological health -its employees feeling less constant strain- compared to the private sector employees. As the questionnaire was distributed during the new coronavirus spreading prevention measures (April 2020), relevant questions were added but there was no evidence of the sector (public or private) affecting work - life balance during the coronavirus measurements’ period. This study is a step to revealing the situation of work - life (im)balance in Greece in the public and private sector and may serve as stimulus to further research.
