Importance Of Organisational Culture In Achieving Work Life Balance.

Abstract

The behavior, engagement, and contentment of employees are significantly influenced by the organizational culture. With an emphasis on adaptability, mission, involvement, and consistency, as well as their relationship to important WLB dimensions (time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance), this study examines the effects of particular organizational culture traits on attaining work-life balance (WLB) across a range of sectors. One hundred workers from three industries—IT, healthcare, and education—were included in the cross-sectional study. A standardized questionnaire measuring organizational culture characteristics and WLB dimensions was used to gather data. To assess the connections between organizational culture and WLB, statistical tests were conducted using Cronbach's Alpha reliability testing, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. The study discovered a strong positive correlation between WLB dimensions and organizational culture attributes. Adaptability showed the strongest correlation with time and involvement balance, while mission was a key predictor of satisfaction balance. The education sector reported higher WLB scores compared to healthcare and IT. With Cronbach's Alpha values ranging from 0.76 to 0.87, which indicate strong internal consistency, the scales' reliability was validated. Organizational culture significantly influences employees' ability to achieve WLB. Adaptability and mission-driven cultures were particularly effective in enhancing WLB across sectors. Organizations seeking to improve WLB should prioritize flexibility and a strong sense of mission to foster better work-life integration for their employees.
