Summary
Work-family balance (WFB) research is growing, with findings highlighting job satisfaction and supportive measures. Future studies will explore positive interactions and cross-cultural exchanges for sustainable development.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometric analysis of Work-Family Balance (WFB) research.
Background:
- WFB is critical for sustainable development but lacks comprehensive research.
- Previous studies focused on specific WFB aspects, necessitating a holistic overview.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide new insights into the research foundation, status, and prospects of WFB.
- To establish a broad knowledge framework for understanding WFB achievements.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis using Web of Science Core Collection data.
- Visual statistical analyses (collaboration, co-citation, co-occurrence) with CiteSpace.
- Selection of 1390 core articles based on the BIBLIO checklist.
Main Results:
- A rising trend in WFB publications with strong internal collaboration networks.
- Identification of Job Demands-Resources and Conservation of Resources theories as key frameworks.
- Correlation between low fertility rates in higher education and WFB pursuit; gender roles, work pressure, mental health, and time management are significant factors.
Conclusions:
- WFB research is diversifying towards positive interactions, enrichment, and sustainability.
- Future research will focus on cross-national and cross-cultural exchanges.
- Emerging trends in WFB practice and research identified.

The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...
