Abstract

Article history: Received: July 10, 2020 Received in revised format: October 18 2020 Accepted: November 4, 2020 Available online: November 4, 2020 The purpose of this research was to identify the role of high performance work practices of banks, work-family conflict, job stress, and personality of bank employees in affecting their work-life balance. To accomplish this goal, self-administered structured questionnaires were distributed to those bank employees who were either married, divorced, or separated, had children, and at least one year working experience in that bank. Final sample was comprised of 726 employees from 277 banks of South Punjab. The results revealed that high performance work practices of banks, family to work conflict, and personality type B behavioral patterns of bank employees increase their worklife balance, and work to family conflict of bank employees decreased their work-life balance. However, job stress and personality type A behavioral patterns of bank employees did not affect their work-life balance. Contrary to previous studies, these results suggest that moderate family to work conflict is actually good for work-life balance, and job stress and personality type A behavioral patterns are inherently not bad for work-life balance. Hence, State Bank of Pakistan should consider developing policies to enhance employee friendly high performance work practices in banks. Banks should also consider taking personality tests prior to recruiting and selecting employees for hectic posts. © 2021 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada

高绩效工作实践、工作与家庭冲突、工作压力和个性在影响工作与生活平衡中的作用

文章历史:收稿日期:2020年7月10日收稿日期:2020年10月18日接收日期:2020年11月4日在线发布日期:2020年11月4日本研究的目的是确定银行高绩效工作实践、工作-家庭冲突、工作压力和银行员工个性在影响其工作与生活平衡中的作用。为了实现这一目标，将自我管理的结构化问卷分发给那些已婚、离婚或分居、有孩子且在该银行至少有一年工作经验的银行员工。最终样本由来自旁遮普南部277家银行的726名员工组成。结果表明，银行员工的高绩效工作实践、家庭与工作冲突和B型人格行为模式提高了银行员工的工作与生活平衡，工作与家庭冲突降低了银行员工的工作与生活平衡。然而，工作压力和A型人格行为模式对银行员工的工作与生活平衡没有影响。与以往的研究相反，这些结果表明，适度的家庭与工作冲突实际上有利于工作与生活的平衡，工作压力和人格A型行为模式本质上并不不利于工作与生活的平衡。因此，巴基斯坦国家银行应考虑制定政策，以加强银行对员工友好的高绩效工作实践。银行也应该考虑在招聘和挑选工作繁忙的员工之前进行性格测试。©2021作者;加拿大Growing Science公司
