Abstract

This empirical study investigates the impact of Work-Life Balance (WLB) practices on employee job satisfaction among 250 IT professionals in the Delhi NCR region. Employing a descriptive-analytical design and structured questionnaire, five WLB dimensions were assessed — flexible working arrangements, remote/hybrid work, employee support programs, leave policies, and managerial support — alongside six job satisfaction dimensions. Statistical analyses (Pearson correlation, multiple regression, ANOVA) via IBM SPSS v26 revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) between WLB practices and job satisfaction, with WLB collectively explaining 61.8% of variance in job satisfaction (R² = 0.618). Managerial support (β = 0.29) and flexible working (β = 0.26) were the strongest predictors. Significant gender and experience-based differences were found. The study concludes with evidence-based HR recommendations for strengthening WLB frameworks in the post-pandemic IT workplace.
