Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine and determine the
organizational factors contributing to employee work-life balance of
senior engineers in a selected software development organization in Sri
Lanka. The main objectives of the study consist of determining the
organizational factors contributing to employee work life,
understanding the relationship and impact of those factors to overall
employee work-life balance and to make recommendations and
strategies to adapt by the organization. Based on the literature review, four independent variables have been identified which includes job
stress, organizational support, workload and the nature of work. The
study collects the data by using the questionnaire technique and selects
the sample size as 86 senior engineers. The hypothesis validation was
carried out using Pearson correlation, Regression analysis from SPSS
19.0 tool. The research findings indicate that organizational support
has the highest contribution to employee work-life balance. Workload
and nature of work also hold a relationship to employee work-life
balance, whereas job stress does not claim a relationship with
employee work-life balance. This study will help organizations and
managers to further enhance employee work-life balance via various
HR strategies and thereby overcome the turnover rate of the employees.
This study could be further continued with a larger sample and several
other dimensions with some qualitative survey methods.
