Impact of Work-Life Balance on Workplace Stress Among Employees

Author(s) Ms. Meethi Singh, Dr. Alisha Juneja
Country India
Abstract This study explores how perceived stress affects work-life balance (WLB) among Indian working professionals, with a focus on the moderating role of professional fields. Based on prior research highlighting stress as a key factor in occupational well-being, the study investigates whether professionals in HR/Operations, IT, and Finance/Marketing experience varying impacts of stress on WLB.

Data from 158 valid online survey responses were analyzed using moderation analysis (PROCESS Model 2 in SPSS), with dummy-coded variables representing professional sectors.

Results revealed a significant negative relationship between perceived stress and work-life balance. Notably, professionals in HR/Operations showed a weaker negative impact of stress on WLB compared to those in Finance/Marketing. No significant moderation effect was observed for the IT sector.

These findings suggest that sector-specific demands and coping mechanisms influence how stress affects work-life balance. The study emphasizes the need for tailored interventions that address unique stressors within different fields.

Limitations include the cross-sectional design and limited generalizability. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs and include a broader range of occupations for a deeper understanding of stress-WLB dynamics in India.
