Work pressure in higher education: a state of the art bibliometric analysis on academic work–life balance

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the work–life balance (WLB) among academics. Academics are the pillars of higher education institutions’ (HEIs) mission to provide quality education to students and the community, supporting socioeconomic development.
