  • Abstract:
  • The study investigates work-life balance among white-collar employees in the manufacturing sector, focusing on the interplay between employee engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational practices. Recognizing the unique challenges posed by demanding work schedules and high-pressure environments, the research aims to assess how current HR initiatives—such as flexible work options, wellness programs, and recognition schemes—contribute to employees’ ability to maintain a healthy equilibrium between professional responsibilities and personal life. A cross-sectional design was employed, gathering primary data through structured questionnaires distributed digitally to 100 white-collar employees. Quantitative analyses, including Chi-square tests, correlation analyses, and one-way ANOVA, were conducted to examine the relationships between perceived HR policy effectiveness, employee motivation, and work-life balance ratings. The findings reveal that a significant majority of respondents rated their work-life balance highly, with a robust positive correlation observed between employee engagement and work-life balance. Moreover, HR policies were found to play a critical role, as employees who perceived these initiatives as highly effective were more likely to report superior work-life balance outcomes. The study provides actionable insights for refining HR practices and underscores the importance of continuous support and tailored interventions to enhance employee well-being. These insights not only contribute to the academic discourse on work-life balance but also offer practical guidance for organizations seeking to foster a healthier, more productive, and engaged workforce.
