Work-Family Balance and Employee Performance in Nepalese Commercial Banks

Abstract

The paper aims at examining the impact of work-family balance (WFB) practices on HR performance in Nepalese commercial banks— private and foreign joint venture banks. A survey was administered in the period between April and June, 2019 on 252 supervisory bank employees selected through a simple random sampling technique from 5 commercial banks, and garnered 240 usable responses out of the 252 (posting a success rate of above 95%). Based on descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA-test, multicollinearity test, correlation and linear regression analyses, the study discovered the results that WFB practices (measured in terms of flexi time, job sharing, telework/telecommuting and leave policy) significantly impacted HR performance in Nepalese commercial banks. The study, therefore, infers that organisations should properly manage work-life balance of their human resources to improve their performance that would ultimately help the organisations achieve their goals.
