Abstract
In work-family balance research, demographic characteristics have traditionally been considered as
moderators or cluster variables used to classify groups in data sets. Although previous studies refer
to these characteristics as predictors, they have not been tested as such. This study treats
demographic characteristics as configurational casual predictors using the emergent analytical
method of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to demonstrate how specific demographic
characteristics lead to work-family balance. Drawing on configuration theory and asymmetric
analysis, work-family balance was computed as a combination of high levels of family satisfaction
and high levels of work satisfaction. The analysis revealed that female full-time employees who
were young, married and lived with children reported higher levels of work-family balance.
