Abstract

This review research paper aims to assess the impact of work-life balance on employee performance and job satisfaction. It explores the relationship between work-life balance and its effects on employee outcomes, highlighting the significance of achieving a harmonious balance between work responsibilities and personal life. The study adopts a comprehensive theoretical framework that integrates theories from multiple disciplines such as organizational behavior, psychology, and sociology. Key theories examined include role theory, conservation of resources theory, and boundary theory, among others. The paper utilizes a systematic review methodology to analyze existing literature on work-life balance, employee performance, and job satisfaction. A wide range of scholarly articles, research papers, and relevant studies are critically reviewed and synthesized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The findings of this review highlight the positive impact of work-life balance on both employee performance and job satisfaction. Employees who experience a satisfactory work-life balance are more likely to exhibit higher levels of job satisfaction and perform better in their roles. Furthermore, the study identifies various factors influencing work-life balance, including flexible work arrangements, organizational support, and individual coping strategies. This research offers significant implications for various stakeholders. From a research standpoint, it contributes to the existing body of knowledge by consolidating and synthesizing findings from multiple studies. For practitioners, the findings emphasize the importance of promoting work-life balance initiatives within organizations, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and improved employee performance. At the societal level, fostering a healthy work-life balance contributes to employee well-being, reduces work-related stress, and enhances overall quality of life. This review research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of work-life balance on employee performance and job satisfaction. By integrating multiple theoretical perspectives and synthesizing existing literature, it offers a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding and promoting work-life balance in the workplace.
