    IMPACT OF REMOTE WORK ON THE WORK-LIFE BALANCE OF MANAGERIAL LEVEL EMPLOYEES IN THE APPAREL INDUSTRY IN THE GAMPAHA DISTRICT
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Athukorala A.S.; Ekanayake E.M.H.L.
    The current study was initiated to identify the impact of remote work on the work-life balance of managerial-level employees. This is a quantitative study and is conducted as a cross-sectional field study. Primary data were collected through a survey questionnaire developed based on the standard measurement scale, which was administered to the respondents directly via online mode as a Google form. Data analysis was done with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). According to the convenience sampling technique, the final sample remains at 81 observations of the Managerial-Level Employees in the apparel industry in the Gampaha District. Person Correlation Coefficient and Linear Regression were used to test the advanced hypotheses. Sig. (2-tailed) test was also employed to test the significance of the correlation coefficient because the advanced hypotheses were non-directional. The outcomes indicated strong positive correlations between work-life balance and occupational stress (r = 0.899), management support (r = 0.874), and family support (r = 0.922), which were all statistically significant (p < 0.001). Regression analysis also confirmed that occupational stress explains 80.9% of the variance in work-life balance, management support explains 76.3%, and family support explains 85.1%, all with significant p-values. Multiple regression analysis also showed that the combined effect of all three factors explains 87% of the variance in work-life balance, and the model is strongly significant (F = 179.830, p < 0.001). Accordingly, based on this item, managers can help balance their professional duties with family commitments by introducing flexible hours, hybrid arrangements, etc. They can also offer family-friendly options such as subsidized childcare and eldercare programs, as well as extended parental leave policies, and an organization can organize training workshops on planning for family members and properly obtaining their support. Surprisingly, the findings of this study found that occupational stress has a positive impact on managers' WLB. Therefore, managers should implement policies to provide adequate mental freedom. This can be done by encouraging them to get enough sleep, exercising, practicing yoga, listening to music, etc.

    (5th HRM Student Research Symposium 2018, Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2018) Jayarukshi, D. D. T.; De Alwis, A. C.
    The final year management undergraduates have to work full time basis to complete the industrial training program simultaneously they must engage with academic activities. Accordingly, this study was designed to assess the impact of workload on perceived academic performance of management undergraduates who are engaging with industry. This study is an explanatory research with quantitative approach and also this is cross sectional in time horizon where the level of analysis at the individual level. The target population was 1680 management undergraduates (N= 1680) of universities in Western Province. Based on the random sampling technique 88 undergraduates are taken as the sample. The researcher has used a structured self-administered questionnaire to collect data from management undergraduates. As the main technique of data analysis the binary logistic regression model has been used. The findings reveals that there is no significant impact of workload on perceived academic performance and also Family support and Distance from university to workplace does not moderates the relationship between workload and perceived academic performance of undergraduates. The findings of this study will contribute to both state and private university undergraduates to identify, how they can manage their studies with their job targets. Further, they can identify how to maintain a good balance between academic workload and job related workload to gain higher GPA
