Absztrakt (kivonat)

Having a job and working full-time are familiar concepts to everyone, and it does not come as a surprise that a lot of the time it is difficult to balance our work life with our personal life. But what happens when someone does not work only because they have to, but because they want to make a career for themselves in their field of work How does their work become their career And if they are so committed to their career, how can they keep up the work-life balance in their lives, when often it is a challenge for those too, who only work to have a fixed income Personally, I am relatively new in the working world, and I still struggle to find the work-life balance in my own life, which is why I became interested in this topic. I also wanted to learn more about the attitude towards the work-life balance of those people, to whom their career is truly important. Therefore, the main topic of my thesis is work-life balance, and I also examined how it is connected to people’s careers. The primary research question of my thesis is “what is the relationship between a stable career path, and work-life balance ” And the secondary research question is “what is the basis for achieving a work-life balance ” The main direction I took in my thesis was to examine the importance of achieving the work-life balance in a person’s life, and how it is achievable. I also elaborated on the lack of the balance, its negative effects on individuals, and how it can lead to the worsening of one’s well-being, causing physical and mental health problems as well. I looked at the contrast between work life and private life as well, and how the high expectations and pressure in the different roles of the individual can cause stress and conflict for them. I also talked about how achieving work-life balance is not only important but rather necessary for individuals as well, using the theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and I mentioned different theories about how one can maintain the work-life balance, and how they can separate their work life from their private life. I reviewed Hungarian and multiple international pieces of literature, articles and studies from different countries as well regarding this topic, to be able to see different viewpoints and approaches to the topic of work-life balance, to see what has been done before, what findings other researchers had previously, and what were their conclusions. After this, I conducted my own research, using an anonym questionnaire as the data collection method. Before I conducted the research, I did a pilot study first, in order to see if there were any problems or confusion with the questionnaire and only after the pilot study did, I carry out the research. I work at a Hungarian bank, and I got permission to do my research there, but I was asked not to name the bank in my dissertation. Hence, the sample of my research consisted of sixty-two employees in the Hungarian banking sector. Most of the findings during my research confirmed the findings in my literature review. As a result of the research, I found that the workplace has the strongest influence over the individual’s work-life balance, and when an imbalance occurs in one’s life, it is most likely that it is caused by the stress and pressure one experiences at their workplace. Being overworked and having to work overtime regularly due to the huge workload and tight deadlines are also aggravating circumstances when it comes to maintaining the balance in a person’s life. I also found that work-life balance is not a truly universal definition, as it has a different meaning for each person, and the most crucial thing is for everyone to find the balance in their own life. Everyone needs to prioritize what is important to them and arrange their time schedule accordingly. Thus, people need to learn to separate their work life from their private life, in order to live a healthy life and achieve the desired work-life balance.
