Abstract: Abstract This paper seeks to explore both theoretical and practical aspects of work-life balance by systematically reviewing existing literature and developing a comprehensive understanding of work-life balance and its association with various forms of work-related behavior and individual, organizational, and social factors. Additionally, this study aims to identify research gaps and propose future research directions. Fifty-four research studies published between 2018 and 2023 have been included in this systematic literature review. The selected studies have been classified based on publication year, geographical distribution, authorship, key indicators, and variables related to work-life balance. This paper examines the various concepts, components, and influential factors that have significantly contributed to the field, specifically focusing on individual, organizational, and social factors influencing work-life balance. Moreover, the study highlights existing research gaps and outlines potential areas for future exploration, particularly concerning flexibility at work and work-life balance. The findings reveal critical gaps in the systematic review and classification of work-life balance research, particularly about demographics, theoretical frameworks, and key influencing factors at personal, organizational, and social levels. Furthermore, the review identifies that most research on this topic has been conducted in India, the United Kingdom, and Finland.
