The study interestingly revealed that\nJob Attitudes play a mediating role in explaining performance of managers\nunlike visualised in the initial conceptual framework. The study points to\nthe importance of taking care of job attitudes in the work place to ensure performance of managers. The result of the study also brings out the\nsignificance of maintaining work-life balance especially in service sector\norganisations because it will have a direct impact on the level of\nperformance of managers than most of the other contextual factors. Hence,\nit is the responsibility of HR department to initiate activities which are\ncustomised to the collective aspirations of the members of respective\norganisations to ensure positive job attitudes. HR departments should\nadvice and convince the top management to provide resource support and\nendorsement to such initiatives.
