Work-life Balance and Its Effect on Employee Productivity in the Nigerian Banking Sector
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the impact of work-life balance on employee productivity in the Nigerian banking sector. In an industry known for high-pressure environments and demanding schedules, achieving a healthy equilibrium between work responsibilities and personal life is increasingly critical. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from structured questionnaires with qualitative insights from interviews conducted among employees in selected Nigerian banks. The findings indicate that poor work-life balance significantly reduces employee productivity, increases stress levels, and contributes to burnout and job dissatisfaction. Conversely, organizations that implement flexible work policies, wellness programs, and supportive management practices experience higher employee morale, increased efficiency, and reduced turnover rates. The study concludes that promoting work-life balance is not just a welfare initiative but a strategic tool for enhancing organizational performance. It recommends that Nigerian banks institutionalize work-life balance practices to foster a more engaged and productive workforce.
