...In a similar vein, Clark views work–family balance as ‘‘satisfaction and good functioning at work and at home with a minimum of role conflict’’ (Clark, 2000, p. 349). According toKofodimos, balance refers to ‘‘a satisfying, healthy, and productive life that includes work, play, and love. . . ’’ (Kofodimos, 1993; p. xiii). These definitions of balance share a number of common elements. First is the notion of equality, or near-equality, between experiences in the work role and experiences in the family role. Clark (2000), Kirchmeyer (2000), and Kofodimos (1993) imply similarly high levels of satisfaction, functioning, health, or effectiveness across multiple roles. Perhaps, Marks and MacDermid s (1996) notion of ‘‘evenhanded alertness’’ as a characteristic of positive balance is most explicit with regard to equality of role commitments. Even negative balance, to use Marks and MacDermid s (1996) term, implies an evenhanded lack of alertness in different roles....

...This approach offered considerable promise, as it identifies tactics individuals can utilize; it provides actionable knowledge that can empower individuals by acknowledging the control they have over how they experience, interpret, and shape the world (Clark, 2000; Nippert-Eng, 1996)....

...Further, work and home cultures can create strong expectations about rules, attitudes, and behaviors that are often quite different from one another (Clark, 2000)....
