Examining The Determinants of Work-Life Balance: A Research Inquiry into the Life of Academicians

Abstract

The study objectives include exploring the relationship between perceived organizational support for the employee as a coworker and/or a supervisor and perceived family support on work life balance of the employees with work engagement as the moderator variable. This research seeks to make known the impact of the support that is derived from members of the organization as well as relatives when it comes to balancing personal and work life. Moreover, besides the work engagement moderating work to family conflict mediation, this study seeks to find out the effects of employee work engagement on this work-life balance. In the current research working women employed in the universities of twin cities were selected through a targeted sample of 300 women. In this study, both quantitative methods have been applied, and analysis was made on the platforms SPSS and SMARTPLS 4. There is limited study done within the context of POS as well as perceived support from family and how it affects the work life balance of the employees. Therefore, this research has a high potential for contribution in the future research and is very useful for the researchers where the concept of perceived has the potential more focus on WLB of employees.
