Hypotheses were tested using linear regression with the aid of Andrew F. Hayes's process for SPSS.

Moreover, work-life balance mediates the relationship between flexible working arrangements and job satisfaction. Their findings inform the literature by emphasizing the importance of work-life balance in enhancing job satisfaction and offering valuable insights for Sri Lankan organizations to effectively implement flexible working arrangements.Item THE IMPACT OF REMOTE WORKING ON MENTAL WELLBEING WITH MEDIATION ROLE OF WORK LIFE BALANCE OF IT PROFESSIONALS IN WESTERN PROVINCE(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Ranwala, R.M.S.P.; Janadari, M.P.N.The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of remote working on the mental wellbeing of IT professionals in the Western Province of Sri Lanka with the mediation role of work life balance.

The number of employees who responded was 393 and 375 were considered for conducting the research further and 18 responses were discarded due to incompletion. Both descriptive and inferential statistics, namely correlation and regression, were used to analyze data. In addition, process macro was used to find the mediation effect of work life balance. The results indicate that remote working has a positive impact on the mental wellbeing of IT professionals while work life balance does not specifically mediate the relationship between remote working and mental wellbeing.Item IMPACT OF SUPERVISOR ASSISTANCE, WORK LIFE BALANCE AND TRAINING ON EMPLOYEES' TURNOVER INTENTION: EVIDENCE FROM NON-EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES OF ABC AUTOMOBILE COMPANY IN SRI LANKA(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Dilruk, M.W.A.; Welmilla, I.The purpose of this research study is to determine the impact of supervisor assistance, work life balance, and training on employee turnover intention.
