Raisa Jabbar, Khadija Jabbar, Dr. Naseer Fatima
Abstract:
This present study aims to explore the relationships and mediating effects that work-life balance, self-efficacy, organizational support, and life satisfaction have. The objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the impact these variables have on the well-being of workers. The quantitative approach of the study gathered information from a substantial number of workers in several companies through questionnaires. The mediating influence of work-life balance and the correlations between the variables are assessed using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that self-efficacy, vocational autonomy, and organizational support bear significant influence on life satisfaction. The study further reveals that work-life balance has an important moderating role that strengthens the effect of the mentioned elements on life satisfaction. The findings propose that efforts to facilitate work-life balance may increase the benefits resulting from self-efficacy, organizational support, and job autonomy. Employers interested in enhancing work-life satisfaction for their staff members may also facilitate job autonomy, create strong organizational support, and enhance self-efficacy. A work-life balance must be promoted if we are to fully benefit from these advantages and eventually enhance employees' productivity and well-being. By emphasizing the connections between job autonomy, self-efficacy, work-life balance, and perceived organizational support and their effects on life satisfaction, this study enhances the body of research that has already been conducted. It presents a fresh perspective on how work-life balance influences these associations and presents academics and practitioners with practical insights that will enhance the well-being of workers. The study therefore aims to fill this gap in existing research.
