First, I'll include information about how to efficiently conduct research online. Make sure you also take advantage of your nearest library's reference specialist. Below, I'll include additional ideas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since you are searching for information that is so specific, you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

... and one to help you judge whether a particular website's information is worth your time:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wouldn't worry about a title or thesis statement until you have done most or all of your research. While researching, you may run across ideas you haven't considered or been aware of before. So don't close any doors too soon!
Here are a couple of websites that will help you with the research process:
http://www.ipl.org/div/teen/aplus/
Even though this webpage says "teen space" the information and steps are excellent for everyone who is researching and preparing to write.
http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/mla/index.shtml
This is on a community college's website, and it's excellent.
Between these two, you should have plenty of ideas regarding 1) researching, 2) planning your paper, 3) writing your drafts, and 4) citing references correctly.
After going through all this, please be sure to re-post when you have further questions.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here are some sites to give you ideas:

If you enter "Work-Life Balance" you will find many more sites!

You have to be kidding. You are doing research for a "Dissertation" based own work life balance? You are in a homework help site looking for help? And you are in a PhD program? And you are looking for us to supply a title, and tell you where to "search"?
Let me guess: University of Phoenix, or Penn Foster?
To be fair some schools refer to write up of school projects as a 'dissertation'.
This is very much a topic of interest in education in the UK at the moment. Try http://www.flexibility.co.uk/issues/WLB/index.htm
which has links to a number of sites on this topic.
