Abstract

This research study sets out to assess the impact of work-life balance practices (leave policy) on employee commitment in Primary Health Centers in Benue State. This study adopted a descriptive survey design using quantitative research techniques and measures. All the 115 female PHCs workers in Oju and Obi Local Government Areas of Benue State formed the target population for this study. These was used as the sample size of the study. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data for this study. A total of 93 questionnaires were returned valid indicating a response rate of 81%. The findings reveal converging views among employees regarding their perception on work-life balance practices; results showed positive correlation between employee commitment and work-life balance practices. The study concludes that achieving well established leave policies and sustaining employee commitment cannot be underestimated. The study recommends that organizations in the health industry due to the nature of the job and precision required in undertaking the jobs should explore leaves as a way of rejuvenating their employees by being innovative and friendly in implementing them.
