EFFECT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON EMPLOYEES’ PRODUCTIVITY AMONG FEMALE STAFF: MODERATING ROLE OF ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE Section Articles

Abstract

This study examines the effect of work–life balance on employee productivity among female staff,
with organisational culture serving as a moderating variable. Guided by the Job Demands–
Resources (JD-R) Model, the study adopted a correlational survey design and analysed data using
structural equation modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS version 4. The findings indicate that work–
life balance and organisational culture each have a significant positive effect on employee
productivity, while organisational culture also significantly moderates the relationship between
work–life balance and productivity. The study concludes that employee productivity is enhanced
when organizations promote supportive cultural practices alongside effective work–life balance
initiatives.
