Abstract

The medical profession is a prestigious and valued career, yet it can be challenging when medical professionals have to deal with the daily hassle of managing their career and family responsibilities. There is continued alarming concern about the work-life balance of medical professionals globally, given the nature of their jobs that often requires them to devote more time to work than non-work domains. This chapter presents a qualitative study of Algerian medical professionals’ work-life balance experiences. Specifically, the study investigated the coping strategies utilised by medical professionals to manage their work and non-work domains. In addition, underpinned by work-life border theory, the study examined how domain integration and segmentation, border design and management, involvement of border-crosser, and connections between border-crossers and others at work and home influence Algerian professionals’ work-life balance.
