Exploring the Interplay of Work, Family, Community Engagement, and Health: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

    This study examines the intricate interplay between work, family, community involvement, and health, aiming to shed light on their mutual influences. Through cross-sectional survey data from employed adults in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the research employs rigorous multiple regression analysis. Results highlight that work-family conflict negatively impacts community engagement and health, while family-work conflict surprisingly boosts community participation. Notably, a positive link exists between community involvement and health. The study underscores the need for effective work-family policies to promote work-life balance. Recognizing work-family conflict's negative effects on the community and health, employers must foster supportive measures. Encouragingly, active community engagement enhances overall well-being, emphasizing its role in health. By elucidating these complex relationships, the research advocates holistic well-being approaches, encompassing work-life equilibrium, family dynamics, and community engagement.
