Abstract

This article analyzes the determinants involved in the work and family balance in the municipality of Monterrey in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. Several recent studies indicate that such balance is critical for an employee. Thus, non-profit organizations and Mexican institutions have had an impact on the development of public policies about work and family balance, leading to new amendments in constitutional laws across different countries. In that sense, the objective of this article is the quantification of the factors that impact on work and family balance. Specifically, social responsibility, work stress, tax incentives, public policies, and work schedule flexibility were analyzed. In this study, the factor analysis technique included data from a sample of 103 employees. Results indicated that both a firm’s social responsibility and work stress have a direct impact on the work and family balance. In the other hand, public policies and work schedule flexibility had a non-significant impact.
