The Impact of Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance: Mediating Role of Affective Commitment and Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The issue of work-life balance (WLB) in the modern workplace has become increasingly complex as technological advancements have made it possible for employees to work from anywhere. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the impact of WLB on employee performance (EP) in organizations. Additionally, it explores the mediating roles of affective commitment (AC) and job satisfaction (JS) in the relationship between WLB and EP. Data were collected from a self-administered questionnaire survey conducted within a plywood manufacturing company in Indonesia, yielding a sample size of 146. The smartPLS-SEM method was utilized to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings suggest that a balanced WLB significantly improves AC and JS, thereby enhancing EP. Furthermore, the study revealed that AC and JS significantly mediate the influence of WLB on EP.
