The Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction on the Relationship between Work-Life Balance and Employee Performance- A Study with Reference to Banking Women Employees.

Abstract

The current research aims to examine the impact of work-life balance on job satisfaction and performance of working women in the Banking sector. The data was collected using a structured survey instrument, from 280 women employees of different banks in Karnataka. First the instruments’ reliability was checked and then descriptive statistics, correlation and regression were tested using SPSS. The researchers also investigate the role of job satisfaction as mediator between work-life balance and employee performance with the help of Process Hayes Model 4. The recent study's findings confirmed that work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee performance all go hand in hand. According to the results of the mediation test, job satisfaction serves as a partial mediating factor. Using this information, HR managers may create policies that support work-life balance and ensure high job satisfaction, performance and low turnover intentions among female employees.
