Abstract:
Mindfulness is a well-studied phenomenon in many studies. Although the direct effect of mindfulness
on work-life balance (WLB) is well-documented, previous empirical findings of the relationship have been
inconsistent. Thereby, current studies attempt to examine the effect of mindfulness on the work-life balance of
executive-level employees in the Central bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). The study was quantitative and a crosssectional survey design was followed. To conduct this research, primary data was collected through a structured
questionnaire. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select the sample, and the final sample consists
of 100 executive-level employees of the Central bank of Sri Lanka.
Data were analyzed using correlation and regression with the aid of SPSS and excel. It was found that mindfulness
is significantly impacting work-life balance. Further, there is a significant relationship between mindfulness and
work-life balance. So, it is concluded that better mindfulness leads to increase employee work-life balance. Hence,
it was recommended that banks should consider the employee's work-life balance and mindfulness to increase the
efficiency level of executive-level employees. Cross-validation of the findings of this study to be done in crossindustry or cross organizations comparatively among the bigger sample in subsequent studies is recommended,
which will add more insights to the substance of the present study.
