The Significance of Life-work Equilibrium and Managerial Support in Enhancing Employee Job Performance in Paper Manufacturing

Abstract

The significance of the human element in determining the success or failure of an organization is well-established, and therefore, the emphasis placed on this aspect is not a recent development. Work is significant in human life as it allows individuals to direct their energy towards meaningful objectives and effectively manage their time. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in promoting positive mental well-being, which is the outcome of experiencing satisfaction with one's life. Given that individuals typically spend a significant portion of their day engaged in work-related activities, it is logical to assume that their level of satisfaction in the workplace would directly impact their performance and productivity. This study seeks to assess the Life-Work Equilibrium (LWE) among employees in the paper industry and examine the associations between LWE, managerial support, and perceived job performance. A survey was administered to a sample of 200 employees selected through the convenience sampling technique. The findings demonstrate a significant correlation between LWE and Managerial support with employees' perceived job performance in the paper manufacturing sector.
