Impact of Family-Centered Life and Work-Centered Life on Employee Performance with Special Reference to Telecommunication Industry in Sri Lanka

Abstract

In the current business world, work-life balance and employee performance is a widely discussed phenomenon. Family-centred life and work-centred life are two recent concepts that have emerged from this global discussion on work-life balance. Hence, the focus of this study was to determine the impact of family-centred life and work-centred life on employee performance. The research is conducted using a cross-sectional survey research design. For this study, a sample of 180 employees from the telecommunication industry of Sri Lanka was chosen. It was used to determine whether or not there is a significant relationship between the two independent variables of family-centred life and work-centred life. The findings show that both spheres of work-life balance; family centred life and work-centred life have a positive impact on employee performance. The current study also emphasizes the importance of understanding the challenges faced by employees in terms of their family-centred life and work-centred life that has an impact on employee performance. Family-centred life and work-centred life is yet a novel concept in economically growing countries, and moreresearch is needed to identify sustainability issues and assess the effects of employee performance, particularly in the telecommunication industry of Sri Lanka.
