The issue of work-life balance is becoming increasingly important
for employers and employees globally. The clearer becomes our
understanding about this issue; the better it will be for an
effective and positive integration of these dynamic domains of our
lives. Work-family enrichment is a positive way of integrating work
and family and it helps to achieve work-life balance. In this
Indo-German study, work-life balance, work-family enrichment,
work-family culture and career success are analysed on a
cross-cultural level using quantitative as well as qualitative
methods. The findings uncovered the similarities and differences
that lie between Germany & India; which give insights into (a)
the enriching experiences related to work-family (b) career success
and (c) work-life balance related aspects of German and Indian
managers. A few gender differences were observed when the data for
both countries was analysed collectively. The results partially
support a relationship between work-life balance & career
success as well as a relationship between work-family
enrichment/family-work enrichment & career success.
