Impact of Work Life Balance on Employee Performance

Work life balance plays a significant role in influencing the performance and behaviour of the employee. There goes a popular saying that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. An individual needs to have activities which will help him to overcome the stress caused by his mundane activities at his workplace. The aim of this paper is to understand the effects of work life balance on the performance and behaviour of the employee. Based on the literature reviews, it was found that work life balance had a positive influence on employee performance and behaviour. It increased the levels of job satisfaction, commitment and engagement. This ultimately increases the performance of the employees. It is also helpful in reducing the stress level of employees. A conceptual framework has been proposed based on the literature reviews. It focuses on the relationship between factors that cause work family life conflict and job performance and mediating effect of work life balance.
