The study of relationship between Workload, Job control and Work-Life balance

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the workload, job control and work-life balance among industrial company''s personnel’s (n = 333). Kerichmer and Kohen Model was applied to measure workload. Job control was measured by Dwyer & Guster and Jackson’s job control scales. Work-Life Balance scale with 18 items was developed by the researchers. Statistical analysis methods were correlation and stepwise regression. Results show that Work-Life Balance has a negative correlation with workload and positive correlation with job control. Regression analysis indicate workload (with β = - 0/43) and job control (with β = 0/36) could predict Work-Life Balance. Finally, findings of this study indicate when workload and demands are high; job control can moderates its effect on work-life balance.
