The Impact of Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance: Examining the Mediating-Moderating Role of Job Satisfaction and Affective Commitment

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to test (1) the influence of work-life balance (WLB) on employee performance (EP), (2) the potential mediating effect of job satisfaction (JS), and (3) the moderating effect of affective commitment (AC) in these relationships. The collected data from 146 employees of a plywood manufacturing company in Indonesia via a self-administered questionnaire survey are subjected to analysis employing the smartPLS-SEM technique. Also, the mediated-moderated procedure recommended by Hayes (2013) is applied to examine the relationships among investigated variables. The results showed that WLB has a significant effect on both EP and JS. Also, AC positively affects EP. Furthermore, the mediational analysis indicated that JS mediates the link between WLB and EP. Moreover, the moderation analysis revealed that AC fails to moderate the effects of WLB and JS on EP*.
