Abstract
It is well known that work-life balance is an important term to every individual, without which one needs to compromise on either work or their personal life. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of each of the independent variables (Flexible Working Arrangements, Leave Policy, Support from Supervisors, Work-life balance policies, Workload and Job Demands) on the dependent variable (Work-life balance) to be studied. The research was carried out by circulating questionnaire to employees in the firm. The research utilized quantitative methods and 100 surveys were taken, the responses were elucidated, post a pilot survey with reliability test (Overall Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.814). Statistical tests were conducted for the responses after performing Normality test (Shapiro-Wilk test) and the results from the correlation analysis showed that there is a significant statistical association between flexible work arrangements and work-life balance. i.e., there exists a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.337) between flexible working arrangements and work-life balance, which is statistically significant, also the study did not reveal any significant relationships between each of other independent variables with the dependent variable. Regression analysis was done and it was found that a significant relationship exists between ‘flexible working arrangements, leave policy of the organization’ and work-life balance. Both these variables accounted to 11.9% variation (R2) with the dependent variable. One – way ANOVA test indicated that there is significant difference between Years of Work Experience and Work-Life Balance (F(3,96) = 3.814, p = .012). Factor Analysis inferred that 11 components among the 30 factors selected for the analysis account for most of the variance in the undertaken research. This report has emphasized the role of examining work-life balance in stress environment corporate sector as HR Consulting sector, keeping in mind, the call for increasing awareness on work-life balance issues as on need, today.
