Abstract

Work-life balance is essential for employee engagement because it enables people to successfully manage their personal and professional obligations, which lowers burnout and boosts job satisfaction. Employees are more driven, effective, and dedicated to their company when they feel supported in preserving this balance. The current research investigates the impact of work-life balance (WLB) on employee engagement, emphasizing the mediating role of psychological contract fulfilment (PCF). Data was collected from diverse employees across various sectors through a structured questionnaire. This study employs a quantitative methodology to address the research questions and objectives effectively. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between work-life balance and employee engagement, indicating that individuals who experience a healthier WLB are more inclined to demonstrate higher dedication and enthusiasm in their positions. Moreover, psychological contract fulfilment was identified as a crucial mediator in this relationship. This research contributes to the overall organizational behaviour of employees by highlighting the interplay between WLB, PCF, and engagement. Organizations seeking to enhance employee engagement should adopt policies that promote work-life balance while ensuring transparency and equity in meeting psychological expectations. Practical suggestions include implementing flexible work arrangements, fostering open communication, and routinely assessing employee perceptions of psychological contract fulfilment to maintain a motivated and productive workforce.
