Work-life balance and job performance among salesperson employees in an organization

Abstract

Being productive at work is crucial for employees. One of the numerous factors that could influence an employee's success at work is their work-life balance. Successful workers are satisfied with a positive work-life balance. Companies must take all possible actions to retain their top salespeople for a long time. Encouraging a healthy work-life balance is one area that has to be improved. This research evaluates the relationship between an employee's job performance and work-life balance. Employees with a poor work-life balance tend to have poor time management, which can result in self-management and stress management issues. A non-parametric test and a quantitative correlational research design were employed in this study. The researchers used an adapted questionnaire that the professionals validated. The researchers surveyed 30 respondents to determine if there is a significant correlation between the work-life balance and job performance of the salespeople employed in various malls in Davao City. The collected data were statistically processed with Spearman's rho, mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage to produce significant results. As a result, the work-life balance has an overall mean score of 3.50 and a standard deviation of 0.46, rated as "high," showing that respondents generally believe they can manage different aspects of their personal and professional lives at a high level. Job performance has an overall mean score of 3.82 and a standard deviation of 0.38, at a high-level rate, which implies that respondents generally think they are performing at a high level on their jobs across a range of characteristics. Spearman's rho has a correlation coefficient of 0.538, exhibiting a moderately positive relationship between work-life balance and job performance. Computed overall p-values below the 0.05 significance level lead to rejecting the null hypothesis, which implies a significant relationship between work-life balance and job performance among salesperson employees. Employees who engage in work-life balance-promoting activities perform better at work. Organizations should recognize and support the importance of work-life balance since it fosters a positive work environment, leading to improved individual and organizational performance among employees.
