Maintaining Gen X-Gen Y: a study of work-life balance

This study examined the work-life balance and organizational commitment of Generation X and Y employees in a selected Information Technology firm in India. The sample of 150 employees was used, comprising of different generations. Out of which 10 were excluded form the study because they were from the category of Baby Boomers which were out side of the scope of the study. Survey method was used which composed of two scales namely, work-life balance and the organizational commitment followed by semi-structured interviews to validate the aided interpretation of the survey results. Results which were calculated using correlation and ANOVA technique exhibit a significant effect of work-life balance on organizational commitment in totality. Similar results were obtained for generation X whereas they were insignificant for generation Y which means they don't consider work-life balance as a necessary factor to stay in the organization.
