This paper is the first to investigate the role of work-life balance in financial analysts’ performance and career advancement. Using a large sample of Glassdoor reviews by financial analysts, we find a significant non-linear relation between perceived work-life balance and analyst performance and analyst career advancement. Specifically, when perceived work-life balance is relatively low, an increase in work-life balance is associated with better analyst performance and career advancement; however, when perceived work-life balance is already high, a further increase in work-life balance is associated with worse analyst performance and career advancement.

本文是第一个研究工作与生活平衡在财务分析师绩效和职业发展中的作用的研究。使用财务分析师对Glassdoor进行的大量评估，我们发现感知的工作与生活之间的平衡与分析师的绩效和分析师的职业发展之间存在显着的非线性关系。具体来说，当认为工作与生活之间的平衡相对较低时，工作与生活之间的平衡增加会带来更好的分析师业绩和职业发展；但是，当人们认为工作与生活之间的平衡已经很高时，工作与生活之间的平衡会进一步增加，这与分析师的业绩和职业发展不佳有关。
