Abstract
Work-life balance (WLB) is employees’ ability to effectively manage between job obligations and everyday life activities involving family, health, and social life. Successful WLB has become increasingly important to healthcare administrators due to staff shortages and essentials of job performance, attendance, and satisfaction. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if there was a correlation between WLB, workplace stress, and employee workplace attendance. The two research questions were correlational; the dependent variable was workplace attendance, and the independent variables were workplace stress and WLB. The compensation theory served as the foundation for the study, in which both family and employee workplaces shared the same environment and had a compensation effect on each other. Using data from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, this quantitative study involved using regression analysis to ascertain correlations between family health outcomes and WLB on employee workplace attendance. Using a sample size of 3,684 the study showed no significant relationship between family health outcomes and employee workplace attendance scores. The study also found a close relationship between variables and a statistical significance between family health outcomes and WLB scores. The study contributes to positive social change by impacting healthcare at the organizational level, where policies can be formulated to address the implications of work-life balance and family health outcomes on workplace attendance.
