Purpose

The purpose of this study is to review the literature on work–life interface (WLI) studies conducted in India, including how cultural and institutional factors affect the work–life balance perception of Indian employees and how they differ from the west.

Design/methodology/approach

The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta analyses (PRISMA) framework was used to select studies included in this systematic review.

Findings

Employees in India prioritize their family first because of the collectivist culture as opposed to the west, where work forms the role of root identity. Further, it was found that institutional support in India is lower than in developed western countries, resulting in difficulty for Indian employees to balance their work and life domains. Additionally, methodological advancement and large-scale multilevel research are much needed in India, as research on work–life studies is still in its infancy.

Research limitations/implications

This study is limited to qualitative synthesis of PRISMA framework. Adopting more advanced “meta-analysis” techniques to review quantitative studies could result in more comprehensive and informative results.

Originality/value

Since 2009, there has been an increase in empirical studies conducted on work–life studies in India, but no systematic review has been conducted to understand the various theories and variables used by researchers. In this study, we developed a conceptual model to increase the theoretical knowledge of WLI constructs.

工作与生活界面回顾：系统的文献分析

目的

本研究的目的是回顾有关在印度进行的工作与生活界面 (WLI) 研究的文献，包括文化和制度因素如何影响印度员工对工作与生活平衡的看法，以及他们与西方有何不同。

设计/方法/途径

系统评价和荟萃分析 (PRISMA) 框架的首选报告项目用于选择包含在该系统评价中的研究。

发现

由于集体主义文化，印度的员工将家庭放在首位，而在西方，工作构成了根本身份的角色。此外，研究发现印度的制度支持低于西方发达国家，导致印度员工难以平衡工作和生活领域。此外，印度非常需要方法论的进步和大规模的多层次研究，因为工作-生活研究仍处于起步阶段。

研究局限性/影响

本研究仅限于 PRISMA 框架的定性综合。采用更先进的“荟萃分析”技术来审查定量研究可能会产生更全面和信息量更大的结果。

原创性/价值

自 2009 年以来，印度对工作-生活研究的实证研究有所增加，但尚未进行系统回顾以了解研究人员使用的各种理论和变量。在这项研究中，我们开发了一个概念模型来增加 WLI 结构的理论知识。
