1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the paper
Work-life balance is the state of equilibrium where a person
equally prioritizes the demand of one’s personal life. It is
subjective concept, and what constitutes a good work-life
balance will vary from person to person. However, there are
some general principles that can help people achieve a better
work-life balance. Overall, work-life balance, employees and
employer can reap a variety of benefits, including increased
productivity, reduced stress, improved relationship, and
increase happiness.
Employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy and content employees are
with their jobs. It is often measured by surveys that ask employees about their
level of satisfaction with various aspects of their work, such as their pay,
benefits, work-life balance and job security. Employee satisfaction has identified
a number of factors like reward system in work, perceived quality of
supervision, working conditions, and individual determinates such as status and
seniority, age group, marital status, and years of experience that cause people to
become satisfied or dissatisfied with their job (Mosadeghrad et al., 2008 ).
1.2 Statement of problems
What are the characteristic of work life balance?
. What are the factor of work life balance on employees?
Does the positive emotional reaction will effect the work life balance.
1.3 Objectives
To analyzes the characteristics of work life balance.
To evaluate the factor of work life balance on employees.
To identify the positive emotional reaction will affect the work life balance.
1.4 Methodology
This research paper is basically descriptive and analytical in nature. In this
paper, an attempt has been taken to analyze the impact of work life balance
and its impact on Employee’s Performance. This paper will be prepared after
primary reviews of all the information such as website, review of literatures
etc. The data are collected from secondary sources as a survey, magazines,
journal and other materials for electronics media.
2. DESCRIPTION AND
ANALYSIS
2.1 Conceptural Review
Work life balance refers to the ideal situation in which employees can divide their time
and energy between work and other important aspect of lives. Due to an increased
expectations at jobs, people find it difficult to maintain a healthy work life balance.
This study has enabled us to understand the work–life balance, organizational support
and job burnout; how these variables affect project performance via their relationship
as described in the theoretical framework. We have examined the relationship
between work–life balance and professional commitment through the construction
industry professional’s opinions. First, work–life balance has been studied with regards
to the project professional’s perspectives. The issue of work–life balance is one of the
most important aspects of project management studies; there are very few studies
that have been conducted to understand this particular phenomenon in a project
management context. This study quantified the effects of work–life balance on project
management and job attitudes. It has been found through the results of these studies
that work–life balance has negative effects on organizational support and project
performance, and this phenomenon has been proven practically through the study.
This study contributes toward the field by considering different ways to balance the
work–family conflicts by examining the effects of work–life balance on job burnout
and project performance. Four hypotheses were proposed and been witnessed the
acceptance for all, indicating the different dimensions of work–life balance.
Managing the work–life balance is going to be considered as one of the key
managerial skills these days; this study has projected the importance of this Impact of
work–life balance vital managerial skill, suggesting the development of these skills
through training as well (Aziz and Cunningham, 2008). 5.2.2 Practical implications. We
have found that the theoretical model got practical implications, both for the
managers and the organization involved in the project. The first implication is that
adopting suitable work–life balance practices will be beneficial and support
professionals working on projects. Professionals engaged in projects, both at
managerial and team levels, are exposed to work–life balance resulting in work
performance and personal life responsibilities. The empirical results revealed conflicts
came across due to poor time management, and these conflicts have adverse effects
on personal and professional commitments. It should be one of the basic
considerations for project-based organizations to make available ample time for the
professionals to be with their families. Before placing them incoming projects,
employees may be provided sufficient time to get fresh and restore their energies
(Lingard and Sublet, 2002).
2.2 Empirical Review
We employ the Partial Least Square (PLS) method to test
hypotheses, considering variables’ direct, indirect, and total
effects. PLS was chosen because the method of solving
structural equation modeling (SEM) with PLS, which in this
case fits the research objectives, is more appropriate than
other SEM techniques. PLS is an analytical method that is
not based on many assumptions (Hair et al., 2015). Finally,
we employ PLS-SEM because of its applicability and
effectiveness in both exploratory and confirmatory research
and prediction (Chin and Dibbern, 2010; Ringle et al., 2012).
To cope with missing values, we consider the mean
replacement strategy (Wesarat et al., 2018). The parameters
of the measurement and structural models are computed in
accordance with the recommendations of Hair et al. (2014).
Hypothesis testing is done by looking at the p-value
generated by the inner model. This test is carried out by
operating bootstrapping on the SmartPLS 3.0 program to
obtain the relationship between exogenous and endogenous
variables.
2.3 Analysis And Discussion
To the best of our knowledge, this study constitutes the first
investigation of occupational stress that has made use of both
perceived control over time as a moderator and cross-
sectional mediation in order to investigate the experiences of
high-tech and banking industry employees. The study results
indicated that occupational stress acts as mechanism in the
links between working hours and work-life balance and job
satisfaction. According to our results, problems in occupational
stress and alertness resulting from being burdened with higher
working hours seem to have many harmful ramifications for
work-life wellbeing, such as work-life imbalance and job
dissatisfaction. Furthermore, those participants who reported
having high perceived control over time were less prone to
also report having highly stressful workloads or long working
hours.
3. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this study found evidence that occupational stress acts as a
powerful mediator of the relationships among long working hours, work-life
imbalance, and job dissatisfaction in employees in high-stress industries such as
the high-tech and banking industries. Furthermore, it is possible that perceived
control over time plays a protective role that affects recovery-related self-
efficacy in the face of long working hours and occupational stress. From a
welfare of workers perspective, a focus on developing more optimistic attitudes
in organizational contexts can promote physical and mental health through time
management, stress management, leisure arrangements, etc., thereby
enhancing workers’ sense of control over their working hours and work-life,
increasing their healthy behaviors, and enhancing their quality of life and
competitiveness. This study aimed to describe the direct effect of work–life
balance on project performance, and what are the indirect effects of work–life
balance on project performance via organizational support. There was a negative
relationship witnessed between work–family conflict and professional
responsibilities. The dimension of job burnout played the main negative role in
affecting project performance. It has been found that organizational support is
positively related to emotional support and project performance, and
instrumental support is positively related to professional commitment. The study
has also found that organizational support played a full mediating effect
between work–life balance and project performance.
