Health life agreement: Conceptualization of a new construct arid measurement

Abstract

Health-life agreement (HLA) is the ability to meet demands in three life domains (i.e. work, family, and self) to the level of personal sAtışfaction without experiencing emotions that can affect the self or the others negatively. In this study, the authors developed a scale to measure the construct of HLA. The results of the k-means cluster analysis revealed four different profiles of HLA (i.e. harmonious, carefree, exhausted, and nonharmonious). The authors found that harmonious people scored highest in positive outcomes (i.e. health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and life sAtışfaction) and nonharmonious group scored highest in negative outcomes (i.e. turnover intention and aggression in relationships).
