Keywords:

This study examined the work-life balance and job performance of state university employees. To measure work-life balance, three components were examined: time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance using adapted measures from the study of Greenhaus, Collins and Shaw (2003). Job performance was measured according to four component: task performance, contextual performance, adaptive performance and counterproductive work behavior. The study found out that state university employees experienced a work imbalance in terms of time balance; family imbalance in terms of involvement balance and a balance in terms of satisfaction balance. Results show that involvement balance and satisfaction balance are moderately associated with adaptive performance. Furthermore, satisfaction balance is moderately associated with contextual performance.
