Impact Of Perceived Family Support, Workplace Support, And Work-life Balance Policies On Work-life Balance Among Female Bankers In Bangladesh

Abstract

Most previous studies on work-life balance have adopted the developed and western country perspectives, which are rich in support structures and legislative policies to address employee work-life demands. To date, few similar studies have been done in emerging economies, where there are few work-life balance policies and support systems. This research investigates workplace support, supervisory support, and work-life balance policies concerning their impact on the work-life balance of Bangladeshi female employees in commercial banks. The results of this study are based on a questionnaire survey to a sample of 558 female employees selected through purposive sampling. Findings reveal that workplace support, superior support, and work-life balance policies significantly influence attainment of better work-life balance among Bangladeshi female bankers. Our study benefits scholars, professionals, policymakers, practitioners, regulators, and female bankers employed in Bangladesh.
