Abstract

The increasing focus on organizational efficiency due to globalization has created a challenge in sustaining a balance concerning work and personal life. The increasing challenge of different roles and avoiding extended working hours affects the mental health of the workers, while at the same time increasing the organizational costs. Thus, the article aims to characterize the bond between WLB and the mental health of employees from different professions, for which a systematic review (literature) was carried out, and through the analysis of 32 studies, it was possible to clarify the concept of WLB. Thus, it is concluded that some studies overlook the true focus on WLB, emphasizing the negative standpoint of conflict, and instead, focusing on the symptoms of mental health. Besides, there is no agreement among studies has been found on the results concerning gender, and the influence of labor flexibility on the association between WLB and mental health.
