Abstract

The purpose of this study is to look at the connections between 352 employees of private companies in Bangladesh and their perceptions of work-related issues and work-life balance. In order to emphasize the features and importance of the different study factors, a descriptive research approach was adopted. 352 workers of private businesses in Bangladesh were asked to complete a well-structured questionnaire in order to get primary data. Regression models and factor analysis were employed in the data analysis. The method used by the researcher was a convenient random sample. The study underwent a reliability test. For the independent and dependent variables, the Cronbach's alpha values are 0.850 and 0.770, respectively. The study's regression analysis showed a connection between perceived work-related characteristics and work-life balance (like workplace flexibility, paid time off, and paternity leave) as well as demographic factors (like marital status, work time, income, and tenure) among employees in private organizations. The researcher established that these elements affected work-life balance. This research may provide managers with the necessary knowledge to determine the optimal way to develop work-related components, such as employee work-life balance.
