Impact of Work Life Balance on Employee Performance in Commercial Banks

Abstract

The findings showed that the majority of employees are dissatisfied with their jobs, which affects their ability to maintain a proper work-life balance. Many staff members are assigned high-demand tasks with very tight deadlines. After completing one challenging task, they must immediately tackle another similar task. This creates a highly stressful work environment, leading to decreased efficiency and effectiveness, as well as a poor work-life balance. The results revealed a strong connection between work-life balance and employee performance, highlighting the significance of factors such as working hours, training, incentives, perceived organizational value, and work-life balance in motivating employees to excel. Moreover, bank employees noted that fair compensation and rewards for their contributions enhance their productivity. However, differences in perceptions of employee performance are evident across various age groups, genders, occupations, education levels, and income brackets.
