Abstract: The main objective of this Master's Final Project is to analyse the effects of work-life balance on happiness at work. Specifically, the effects of the conciliatory measures promoted by the organizations on the workers and these organizations are studied. After a theoretical review of the existing literature on the key concepts that are part of this project, a practical analysis is realized using a questionnaire provided to 52 workers in the service sector of Catalonia to verify that the conciliation policies really affecting positively happiness at work; having a positive effect on workers and organizations. The results of the sample show that not always the people who have the best opportunities to balance their life are the happiest at work, because this happiness also depends on other factors which determine the quality of the labour relations. However, it has been shown that the influence of conciliatory practices is positive both for the workers who enjoy them and for the organizations that promote them. The including of work-life balance as an essential element in the business culture is a great opportunity for organizations to become more competitive, in order to approach the benefits of this in all areas, especially in the improvement of the work environment; increasing the motivation, satisfaction, identification with the company and commitment of the workers.
