Purpose: The aim of this article is to underline and explain the need for comprehensive scientific reflection on the functioning model of organization based on two factors: work and family life with a third element - technology. Design/methodology/approach: The article is a review and discussion. The conclusions presented in the article are the result of non-reactive research based on the analysis of secondary sources - scientific literature. The method of scientific inference was inductive. Sources of information used to write this article are interdisciplinary in nature: in the field of management sciences, sociology, psychology and ethics. Findings: The value of the analysis is the attention focused on an attempt to maintain a balance between all components, i.e. working time, family/private life and technology (tech-life balance. The authors prepared a model in the form of a diagram of overlapping areas and their characteristics that can be used in subsequent empirical studies. For this purpose, the most important theoretical approaches present in the literature of various scientific disciplines concerning, among others, the concepts of work-life balance, sustainable digital footprint and tech-life harmony were conceptualized. Research implications: Future research should consider examining the impact of the highlighted factors on organizational development, providing a more comprehensive analysis of the impact of individual areas on entrepreneurs' decisions. Originality/value: This article presents a holistic perspective of conscious management within the distinguished areas of a harmoniously developing organization. Entrepreneurs can benefit from implementing a holistic management strategy that can improve business efficiency, encourage innovation, and improve coping with business challenges.
