This study aims to investigate the factors influencing work-life balance (WLB) among employees at Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. (SJVN). Using a quantitative approach, the study examines the impact of personal attributes, organisational elements, job characteristics, and workplace practices on WLB. The findings highlight key dimensions such as departmental factors, external influences, family care responsibilities, and organisational policies as significant contributors to work-life conflicts. The study underscores the importance of individual and organisational measures in reducing work-life conflicts and enhancing employee well-being. Recommendations include adopting family-friendly policies, flexible work arrangements, and effective grievance-handling mechanisms to improve WLB, job satisfaction and organisational performance. This research provides valuable insights for public-sector organisations striving to enhance employee satisfaction and productivity.
