Abstract
The paper presents a brief theoretical analysis of the concept of work-life balance. Research in this area is becoming increasingly important in the context of studying the consequences both at the level of an individual and an organization as a whole. It has been established that achieving balance has a significant impact on various aspects of work and psychological well-being. At the same time, there is a lack of research on this phenomenon among working students. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes towards work and leisure among working students and non-trained professionals. Implicit and explicit attitudes towards work and leisure, work engagement, and subjective well-being were assessed. The sample consisted of 109 people, 55 of them working professionals and 54 students who combine work and study. The results of the study confirmed the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes towards work and leisure among students. There were no significant differences in the overall assessment of explicit attitudes among students and working professionals, but interesting data were obtained on the subscales of the questionnaire. Students often contrast fields, seeing work as both an obstacle to personal satisfaction and a possible source of inspiration. The results are contradictory and need further analysis. Additionally, a study was conducted on differences in the level of subjective well-being and engagement, where the results confirmed that students are more willing to work and strive, although their level of subjective well-being does not exceed that of working professionals. The observed situation requires further study of the interrelationships between professional and personal spheres, especially in the context of student life. The data obtained may be of interest to both universities and practicing psychologists in personal counseling.
