In a neoliberal socio-political climate, there is increased pressure at work as well as greater expectations regarding the performance of non-work roles. These factors compound the challenge of coping with interrole conflict. In more economically developed countries,  work-life balance  is a term that has come to dominate the conceptualization of interrole conflict negotiation within public discourse. The manner in which this term has been adopted within the context of neoliberal ideology has shifted the responsibility for managing interrole conflict from the organizational and policy (macro) level to the individual (micro) level. This process has resulted in a maladaptive situation in which the individual seeks to independently regulate conflicting role demands with problem-focused coping strategies that are largely inspired by performance management techniques of the workplace. In response to this situation, it is first necessary to examine the implicit assumptions held within the public’s understanding of the work-life balance concept and to assess how these assumptions shape the strategies taken up by the individual to cope with interrole conflict. Secondly, there is a need to develop coping strategies that are better adapted to address personal objectives. Alternative models issued from occupational science research, such as occupational balance, lifestyle balance, or life balance, may be better suited to understand and address interrole conflict negotiation on an individual level.
