Work-Family balance is an appealing and inquisitive concept since two or three decades. Scholars, academicians, public sector and private sector executives all of them are always try to explore what are the factors which are responsible for work-family conflict? On the other hand what are the factors which help the employees to maintain a balance between work and family life? This paper is found out the answers of such questions. This study is purely based on literature review. Finally, we explored various dimensions related to work-family balance such as: Time, Strain, behaviour and Management support. Work-family conflict arises due to demands related to time, behaviour and working polices of an organization. While management support, flexible working hour, Work-from home and emotional support from family are some factors responsible for balancing a better work-family life. Another objective of this paper is to find out major scales of work-family balance through extensive literature review.
