Abstract

Work-life enrichment is a construct which has received increased research attention recently (Brough, Siu, O'Driscoll, and Timms, 2015). Studies often explored the work-life enrichment from the point of view of contextual variables (Lapierre, et al., In Press). Literature exploration found that limited research had explored the relationship between work-life enrichment and employee demographics exclusively. This study exclusively examined the relationship between the employee demographics and work-life enrichment with the help of data obtained from 78 banking and academic professionals from the taluk of Viakom. The result of the analysis found that employee demographics (work, family and personal) does not have any relationship with work-life enrichment and there by conforms work-life enrichment as a construct which is less social in nature.
