Abstract: Work-life balance has emerged as a major business issue due to growing interest by professionals in seeking satisfaction from non-work activities. Work-life balance is about the allocation of people’s time between job, household obligations, and personal pursuits in an effort to achieve harmony between career and the other parts of life. Examination of professionals’ perception of work-life balance has shown that a healthy work-life balance results in higher job satisfaction and work performance, and positively affects ethicality. This study extends prior research on the work-life balance views of prospective accountants and other business professionals by examining factors that are associated with individual interest in achieving work-life balance such as religiosity, field of study, ethicality, and political views. Findings indicate that future accountants and business professionals place high value on work-life balance. With regard to spirituality, more religious persons expressed greater concern about work-life balance than less religious persons. A notable correlation was found between work-life balance perspectives and a person’s ethicality.
