I would like invite you to participate in a questionnaire survey entitled Work Life Balance. I am currently a Mass
Communication Master student at University Teknologi Mara (UiTM) under the supervision of Professor Dr. Kiranjit

practitioners engage between professional role and personal positive lifestyle. This survey is solely for academic
purposes.

Your participation in this research project is completely voluntary. Data from this research will be kept confidential and
reported only as a collective combined total. No one other than the researchers will know your individual answers to this
questionnaire and no personal reference will be made to any participated individual.

This 15- to 20-minute questionnaire survey has been designed to learn how public relations practitioners feel about the
intersection of work and life for professionals in our field. You were randomly selected from among IPRM members to
participate in this study. Your participation is completely voluntary, and your responses are confidential.

I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older, that I understand the information provided above, and that I wish to
participate in this confidential study.

In this section, we would like to know about possible conflicts between your public relations job/work and your non-
work activities. Some examples of non-work activities could include family responsibilities, community/volunteer
commitments, leisure activities, or any other personal activities which are not related to your job.

Please indicate the extent to which you agree with these statements, with 1 being strongly disagree and 7 being
strongly agree.

Strongly Somewhat Somewhat Strongly

Disagree Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Agree Agree

My work keeps me from my non-work activities

more than I would like.
The time I must devote to my job keeps me from
participating equally in my non-work
responsibilities and activities.
I have to miss non-work activities due to the
amount of time I must spend on work
responsibilities.
When I get off work, I am often too frazzled to
participate in non-work activities/responsibilities.
I am often so emotionally drained when I get off
work that it prevents me from contributing to my
non-work responsibilities.
Due to all the pressures at work, sometimes when
I get off work I am too stressed to do the things I
enjoy.
The problem-solving behaviors I use in my job are
not effective in resolving problems in my non-
work activities.
Behavior that is effective and necessary for me at
work would be counterproductive in my non-work
life.
The behaviors I perform that make me effective at
work do not help me to do a better job in my non-
work responsibilities.
