Abstract

The present paper, using recent and nationally representative data from the Canadian General Social Surveys, is concerned with the association of religiosity with work-life balance satisfaction. The association of both private and public aspects of religiosity with work-life balance satisfaction is assessed. In addition, based on multiple questions on religion and spirituality, the sample is divided into six mutually exclusive categories of very religious, average religiosity, nominally affiliated, liminal, privately-spiritual, and strictly-secular. This typology, rooted in the recent religious scholarship, allows for a meaningful comparison across the growing and diverse segment of secularized individuals. The results point to a positive relationship between retaining ties with organized religion, as opposed to private spirituality or strict secularity, and work-life balance satisfaction. Various venues of explanation are explored.
