Abstract

This study proposes to detect the influence of organizational factors of WLB on JP. The research considered all the academic and administrative heads of the north east universities in Sri Lanka as the population and conducted a population study (339). Out of the total population, two hundred and fifty-seven (257) was used as respondents for the analysis. The findings of the study revealed that organizational factors of WLB did have considerable impact on JP. Further, job stresses had significant negative impact on JP and demand and culture of home had recorded significant positive relationship with JP. Work arrangements, organizational support and WLB-related company practices, did not significantly contribute to JP. This study offers valuable evidence that academic and administrative heads of universities could maintain WLB and manage their respective departments, units and centers to achieve better JP.
