In life, individuals have to work in order to be able to earn the money that they require in order to satisfy their needs.

As well, the passion to carry out certain tasks can dictate the relationship that a work-life balance has with non-profit management. Non-profit making jobs are characterized by little pay scales and, therefore, without passion, one can find it difficult to cope with such a job.
