Purpose: The objective of the study is to determine the extent to which job
satisfaction (JS) serves as a mediator in the relationship between work-life balance
(WLB) and organisational commitment (OC). This will enable the administration
of Bangladeshi banks to concentrate on enhancing their overall performance and
productivity by ensuring a harmonious balance between their personal and
professional lives.
Data and Methodology: This study employs a convenience sampling strategy to
gather data from 120 bankers. The questionnaire items were evaluated using a
5-point Likert scale. The data is evaluated using SPSS version 25, which makes
use of regression, correlation, and ANOVA.
Findings: Studies indicate that work-life balance has a substantial impact on
organisational commitment. Additionally, JS effectively mediates the relationship
between WLB and OC. The findings indicate that an increased emphasis on
cultivating an optimal work-life balance and job satisfaction is essential for
enhancing employees' organisational commitment in the banking sector.
Practical Implications: This study has significant implications for the banking
sector in Bangladesh. Senior management should implement policies and
processes to institutionalise work-life balance across both dimensions, likely
leading to an increase in job satisfaction and organisational commitment among
bankers within their organizations.
Originality/Value: Insufficient attention has been given to work-life balance and
its effects on organisational commitment. The impact of work-life balance on
organisational commitment, mediated by job satisfaction, seems to be
inadequately researched in Bangladesh. This research will investigate the
influence of work-life balance on employee organisational commitment, with job
satisfaction serving as a mediator, within the banking sector of Bangladesh.
Limitations: Notable limitations of the study encompass the use of a convenience
sampling method for data collection, a restricted sample size, and a concentration
on a particular geographic area.
