IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON EMPLOYEE TURNOVER INTENTION: THE STUDY OF ABC TEA MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN SRI LANKA

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Work-Life Balance on Turnover Intention of employees who work in a well-reputed tea manufacturing sector organization in Sri Lanka. The results of the study provide empirical evidence that the work-life balance has a significantly negative impact on Employee turnover intention. This was conducted as a quantitative and cross-sectional study. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire using a simple random sampling technique. Correlation analysis and simple regression analysis were used to measure the relationship and to test the advanced hypothesis of the study by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The analyzed results show there is a significant negative relationship between overall independent and dependent variables. The results indicate that the work-life balance is critical in reducing employees’ turnover intentions. Therefore, managers should pay close attention to implementing and promoting work-life balance policies, as employees' satisfaction with their work-life balance will directly influence their decision to stay with the organization.
