Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

The present study examines the relationship between work-life balance, occupational stress, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment among professionals working in public and private sectors. Work-life balance has become an important concern in modern organizations because employees are required to manage professional responsibilities along with family, personal, and social roles. Poor work-life balance may increase occupational stress, reduce job satisfaction, and weaken commitment toward the organization. The study explores how workload, role pressure, working hours, organizational support, flexibility, and work-family conflict influence employees’ psychological and professional outcomes. It also compares public and private sector professionals to understand variations in stress, satisfaction, and commitment across organizational settings. The study highlights that healthy work-life balance can reduce stress, enhance job satisfaction, and strengthen organizational commitment among professionals. The findings may be useful for developing employee-friendly policies, stress management practices, flexible work arrangements, and supportive organizational culture.
