ABSTRACT
On the one hand, work represents an important part of a person’s life with respect to financial, material, and personal aspects. It enables a better quality of life and influences self-esteem. On the other, the primary social environment (that is, family and friends) plays an inherent part in the formation of one’s identity. It is therefore important to balance life and work in order to avoid possible work–life conflict. Regardless of the type of employment, the nature and intensity of the work, or demographic characteristics of the employees and other factors, conflict between work and life occurs in all organizations. However, as we will discuss in the next section, the military organization is exceptional in terms of demands on its members and the potential for work–life conflict.
