Work-Life Balance Satisfaction and Organisational Commitment: Moderating Role of Employees’ Cultural Values

This paper examined the moderating role of cultural values on relationships between work-life balance satisfaction (WBS) and employee's organisational commitment (OC) for example affective commitment (AC), continuance commitment (CC), and normative commitment (NC). A total of 1594 employees of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, a Government of India Public Sector Undertaking, providing telecommunication services and practising uniform HR practices across India participated in this study. It was found that WBS is positively related to OC (AC, CC and NC); and relationship is moderated by employees’ cultural values at individual level. The form of moderation reveals a positive significant effect on relationship between WBS and NC for employees high in individualism/collectivism, low in masculinity/femininity and power distance. However, no significant moderating effect has been observed on relationship between WBS and OC (AC, CC and NC) for employee having low or high uncertainty avoidance.
