In the Job Satisfaction Index 2018, we zoom in on the Danes' experience of mastering work-life balance. In the report, we have defined three different dimensions of coping; professional mastering, personal mastering and social mastering. Our survey shows that Danes generally have an experience of being good at what they work with, and they also believe that it is important to be good at what they work with. When we can nevertheless experience that we do not really succeed, our study indicates that it is particularly the experience of a lack of personal mastering that challenges us when we find ourselves in situations where we do not really succeed at work.
