Purpose –the purpose of the study is to explore the factors affecting work life balance and affective commitment. Further, the study examines whether significant difference occur between the Satisfaction with life scale, family satisfaction, perceived organisational support and affective commitment of rural and urban women working in cooperative societies in Punjab. Social exchange theory is used to support the hypothesised relationships. Design/methodology/approach – The study was done on 410 rural and urban women working in cooperative societies in Punjab. Factor analysis, Regression, t test and Correlation has been used to test the hypotheses. Findings – The study explored 4 factors in totally. 5 statements are related to first factor as “subjective well being”, 7 statements are related to factor 2 as “household factors”, 8 factors are associated with factor 3 as “Perceived organisational support” and 6 statements are associated with factor 4 as “affective commitment”. The study found significant difference between the satisfaction with life scale and household factors of rural and urban women working in cooperatives societies in Punjab (H1). Whereas, no significant difference was found in the Perceived organisational support and affective commitment of rural and urban women working in cooperatives societies in Punjab. Practical implications –With the advent of technological development urban women in Punjab working in cooperative societies have discovered their potential and skills for chipping into the society and nation. They have support from their family that help them to realise their inner strength by leveraging the power of aggregation. They have access to formal sources of finance and credit with the necessary capacity building inputs. To achieve the state of work life balance and affective commitment, it is required that cooperative societies should make employee friendly policies. In contrast, rural women are still prone to shocks of intolerant customs. They keep working like thrall in their own homes, chattels to customary living. Continuously, working at home and at work (cooperative societies) make them over burdened. It impacted their health and creates mental pressure. There is a need for the society to make changes in their thought process. Family should come forward to help these women and support them so that they can work with full zeal and enthusiasm and can help in development of sustainable nation (Beauregard and Henry, 2009).

Using the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) Model as a framework, this study aimed to determine the association between job resources, job demands, burnout, work engagement, and work-life balance among teachers in a secondary public school. The researcher employed a quantitative research design through a self-administered survey among teachers in a secondary public school (School X) in Paranaque City, National Capital Region, Philippines using convenience sampling in selecting the participants from School X. Cronbach's Alpha tested the reliability of the data. Bivariate relationships were then explored using Pearson Correlation to determine how significant and to what degree are the relationships among the investigated variables. The results confirmed the following relationships based from the hypothesized JD–R Model: (1) there is a positive association between job demands and burnout; (2) there is a positive association between job resources and work engagement; and (3) there is a negative association between burnout and work-life balance. However, the data from this study revealed that there is no significant association between work engagement and work-life balance. Finally, in predicting work-life balance using burnout and work engagement, only burnout remains the significant regressor. This study contributed to the limited Philippine-based literature explaining how job demands and resources are associated with burnout and work engagement, respectively, and how these mechanisms are integral to the work-life balance of public-school teachers. The study found that work-life balance among public school teachers may improve by primarily managing and reducing the demands of their jobs.

The Relationship

Objective – Employees’ perception of HR practice is crucial because it can affect individual and organizational outcomes. HR practices may influence the perception employees have of the support that is available to them from the organization, the work-life balance, and the organization’s commitment to their employees. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived HR practices on affective commitment. This study also explores the role of perceived organizational support in mediating work-life balance. Methodology/Technique – This survey was conducted between February – May 2019 using 178 employees ranked as officer (with no managerial position) from various organizations. The mediation analysis using SPSS and Macro Process was used to identify the relationship between the variables. Findings – The results indicate that employee perception of effective HR practice influences employee affective commitment. Further, perceived organizational support and work-life balance can mediate the relationship between those variables. However, the mediation only works if the mediator stands as a separate variable. When both mediators are put together, they do not mediate the relationship. Novelty – Studies concerning human resource (HR) practice and employee work behaviour remains scarce in Indonesia. The practical benefit from this study is to contribute to the knowledge of organizations concerning the implementation of effective HR practice in order to build a sense of supportive and balance in both work and private life. Additionally, both mediators may contribute to the development of affective commitment. Type of Paper: Empirical.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating roles of work and family demands and work-life balance on the relationship between self-efficacy (to regulate work and life) and work engagement. Specifically, it seeks to explain how self-efficacy influences employees’ thought patterns and emotional reactions, which in turn enable them to cope with work and family demands, and ultimately achieve work-life balance and work engagement. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modelling (SEM) of survey data obtained from a heterogeneous sample of 1,010 Australian employees is used to test the hypothesised chain mediation model. Findings The SEM results support the hypothesised model. Self-efficacy was significantly and negatively related to work and family demands, which in turn were negatively associated with work-life balance. Work-life balance, in turn, enabled employees to be engaged in their work. Research limitations/implications The findings support the key tenets of social cognitive theory and conservation of resources (COR) theory and demonstrate how self-efficacy can lead to work-life balance and engagement despite the presence of role demands. Study limitations (e.g. cross-sectional research design) and future research directions are discussed. Originality/value This study incorporates COR theory with social cognitive theory to improve understanding of how self-efficacy enhances work-life balance and work engagement through a self-fulfilling cycle in which employees achieve what they believe they can accomplish, and in the process, build other skills and personal resources to manage work and family challenges.
