Abstract

The chapter discusses personality differences and the roles they play in the management of WLI. Self-Care behaviors were recognized as a major link in the relationship between personality differences and work–nonwork interface. The chapter advocates that Self-Care behaviors affect the work–nonwork interface directly and moderates the relationship between personality differences and the work–nonwork interface such that individuals who use Self-Care behaviors have a better fit with the work–nonwork interface, achieve WLI, and improve their well-being. The chapter concludes that though some personality differences have the tendency to exacerbate work–nonwork conflict (even when friendly policies are provided), such differences can still achieve work–life integration if the individuals adopt Self-Care behaviors that can compensate for the negative tendencies. It requires individuals to identify and recognize these negative tendencies and proactively work to mitigate them using Self-Care behaviors.
