Abstract
Designing a Work-Life Balance Model for Women with an Emphasis on Family Resilience in Government Organizations: A Phenomenological Study
Considering the multiple roles of women in society, establishing a work-life balance has become one of the important challenges in their lives. The present study aimed to identify and design a phenomenal model of women's work-life balance with an emphasis on family resilience in government organizations. This applied research was conducted with a qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenological method. The research population consisted of women working in government organizations who were selected through purposive judgment sampling. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview, which reached data saturation with 11 interviews. The Claise phenomenological method was used to analyze the data. The research findings indicated that women's lived experience was identified in 201 basic concepts, 18 categories, and 4 main themes. The 4 main themes include: strengthening family relationships, supportive organizational climate, job enrichment and redefinition, and adaptation to multiple roles as 4 dimensions of a phenomenal model of work-life balance with an emphasis on family resilience in government organizations. As a result, to establish work-life balance for women with an emphasis on family resilience, it is necessary to focus on four dimensions: family, organizational, career, and individual.
