Abstract

The work-life balance (WLB) which is "harmony of work and life (family)" is attracting more attention by the suggestion of "work style reform" in 2017. While many initiatives to improve the work style are proposed and implemented, it seems that there are not many reports on such efforts. This is thought to be attributable to that there is no established means for quantitatively grasping the state of the WLB of individuals or organizations themselves. Many of the research fields of WLB were mainly qualitative, such as case studies, workplace environment, policies. However, from a quantitative point of view, although several studies such as evaluation of measures for WLB and relevance to productivity are observed, there are few studies to quantitatively grasp the state of WLB of an individual or organization themselves. On the other hand, Tabata et al. Proposed a work-life balance sheet (WLBS) that uses the balance sheet as a model to quantitatively grasp such WLB. In this research, based on this WLBS, we aim to establish a model to quantify and visualize WLB in individuals and organizations (workplaces) and to verify the effectiveness.
