EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, WORK–LIFE BALANCE AND JOB PERFORMANCE: MEDIATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

Abstract

This paper discusses how the employee engagement (EE), the performance appraisal (PA), the work-life balance (WLB), the job security (JS) and the supervisor support (SS) affect the engagement (ENG) of the Employees with Organizational commitment (OC) as a mediator in the Pakistani organizational context. The study used a quantitative cross-sectional design, and 300 respondents were used to collect the data and analyze it using PLS-SEM. Findings affirm that all the five antecedents have a significant influence on both Organizational Commitment and Employees Engagement. Organization Committee mediates all the five antecedent-outcome relationships. The model accounts for the 54.6% and 54.2% variance in the Engagement of the Employees and Organizational commitment respectively, which validates the theoretical and practical importance of commitment as a mediating variable.
