Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine the influence of work life balance on
performance of senior staff at the University of Cape Coast. There were three main
specific objectives, among them were to identify the level of work life balance of
senior staff of the University of Cape Coast; examine the level of performance of
senior staff at the University of Cape Coast; and examine the effect of work life
balance on the performance of senior staff at the University of Cape Coast. The
study was based on the views of 281 senior staff from the study area. It was a
quantitative study with self-administered questionnaire as the main research
instrument. The results from the survey were processed with the help of the
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS v26.0). The results of the study
concluded that the senior staff find it difficult in balancing both work role and
family or personal roles. Also, it was found that, senior staff at the University of
Cape Coast had high levels of performance within the organisation. Lastly, there
was a positive relationship between work life balance and employee performance.
The study therefore recommended that, for the senior staff to be effective, the
authorities must institute effective work life balance policies to explain the causes
of imbalance and strategies for upgrading the quality of lives to create the life and
work goals.
