Abstract

Background

Research has shown that work-life balance is not only about job satisfaction and performance. It is also related to a good occupational balance. In this way, a balanced working pattern can improve health. The impact of smartphones, which have become ubiquitous in contemporary society, on this balance is a topic of ongoing debate.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the relationship between time use, smartphone use, occupational balance, and occupational self-competence among working young people and university students. The findings of this study may contribute to the development of effective strategies to improve the work-life balance of young people who are either working or about to start their working life.

Methods

The study involved 158 healthy young adults. The research instruments used included a socio-demographic information form, the Modified Occupational Questionnaire, the Occupational Self-Assessment, and the Turkish Occupational Balance Questionnaire. The results were then analyzed using SPSS 24.0.

Results

A significant relationship was found between the time allocated to sleep and occupational balance (p = 0.009), as well as between the time allocated to work and productive activities and occupational self-competence (p = 0.010). Furthermore, a statistically significant relationship was found between the duration of smartphone usage and occupational balance (p = 0.04).

Conclusion

The study emphasizes occupational balance as an important concept for identifying and addressing time use problems among young workers and university students. The study suggests that achieving work-life balance requires consideration of the positive effects of time allocated sleep and the negative effects of smartphone use.
