Targeted Data Collection

To achieve the purpose of current study, the research will largely involve the use of interviews. A questionnaire with a scale measuring work-life balance, a scale on job satisfaction, and another one highlighting stress levels. The scale on work-life balance allows participants to respond to statements on a Likert sale from strongly disagree to strong agree. Similarly, scales on job satisfaction and stress levels provide insights into the need for evidence-based solutions for enabling employees to balance work and non-work related activities. Notably, administrators, medical staff with working spouses, and those with children will highlight the situation involving work-life balance. Pudasaini et al. (2022) encouraged healthcare professionals to use their frontline experiences to address challenges and improvements necessary for optimizing care outcomes. In this case, the medical team can participate in structured interviews designed to capture in-depth evidence on work-life balance and evidence-based interventions for addressing employees’ emotional, physical, and mental wellness.

With interviews, the researcher acquires comprehensive data on scenarios involving work-life balance and strategies available to achieve the intended outcomes. Higher response rates, reduced respondent confusion, and opportunities to clarify items makes interviews ideal for a quantitative study (Maltby et al., 2011). Challenges may include time-consuming nature of interviews and additional costs. Despite the limitations, interviews are appropriate for enabling researchers to access rich data and make informed conclusions about a phenomenon.

Conclusion

Quantitative research is an important consideration that allows researchers to generate knowledge and create understanding of work-life balance. The design makes it easier to capture measured or observed data and use it to examine questions on work-life balance and opportunities available to make the concept a standard practice in an organization.
