Keywords:

Family plays a significant role not only in an individual’s personal life but also in their professional functioning. Excessive focus on either domain can lead to imbalance. This study examines the impact of work-life balance on employee productivity and well-being using a post-positivist research approach. It incorporates both analytical and descriptive methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject, with relevant sources selected based on the study’s objectives. The findings indicate that maintaining an effective work-life balance contributes to improved health and enhanced productivity among employees. Individuals who successfully manage both professional and personal responsibilities tend to be more motivated and satisfied, whereas those who struggle to achieve balance often experience higher stress levels and reduced productivity.
