THE INTERPLAY AMONG WORK OVERLOAD AND TIME MANAGEMENT IN PREDICTING JOB PERFORMANCE AND WORK–LIFE BALANCE

Abstract

Work overload and time management are becoming increasingly important as demands increase in both professional and personal life, which relates to work–life balance. Work overload and time management also have serious implications for individual work performance. This study examined how time management moderates the effect of job overload on job performance, as well as the relationship between work overload and work–life balance. The results show that work overload has a negative impact on job performance and work–life balance. This study also shows that time management moderates the relationship between work overload and job performance, making the relationship between these two factors less negative. These findings suggest that it is important for both individuals and organizations to pay more attention to time management because it can improve work–life balance and work performance.
