Money remains one of the top motivations for workers to succeed in their career.
But when it comes to achieving work-life balance, not all cultures share the same enthusiasm, new insights from BI Norwegian Business School suggest.
In a study of the modern workforce, researchers analysed two subjective measures of career success – financial success and work-life balance.
While workers across 22 countries consistently strive to achieve financial payoffs at work, not everybody puts in the same amount of effort to achieve balance between their professional and personal lives.
The study, published in The Journal of Organizational Behavior, used a sample of nearly 12,000 employees worldwide to explore the link between career proactivity and career success.
