The Role Of Work-Life Balance In Enhancing Employee Productivity: Insights From Five Textile Companies In Vapi, Gujarat

Abstract

This article aims to explore the impact of work-life balance on the performance of employees in the textile sector in the industrial city of Vapi, Gujarat. The main objective of the research is to understand the influence of work-life balance policies on the productivity of the employees. A survey was conducted using the questionnaire method wherein the data was collected from 300 respondents from five textile industries in the region.

Regression analysis has been used to study the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Findings from the study show that work-life balance and work-life balance policies have a significant impact on employee performance and employee well-being respectively. The analysis also showed that while the existing work-life balance policies are having a positive influence on the employee performance and employee well-being, there is still scope for improvement. The researcher has recommended for further review of the existing policies either to make amendments, or to introduce policies like flexible or remote working options, restructuring of leave policies, employee wellness programs to help employees improve their current performance levels, efficiency and overall emotional well-being.
