Abstract |
|
|
| The aim of this research was to identify the impact of the balance between professional work and personal life and engagement in work in the banking sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The current research relied on the quantitative method in order to test the research hypotheses. The study population consisted of (823) employees working in the Kingdom of Bahrain Banks. The sample size consisted of (266) employees. The findings of this research showed that there is a clear effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, which indicates that the levels of balance between professional work and personal life increase the level of work engagement in the banking sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The dimensions of the balance between professional work and personal life had the most impact on the level of work engagement, the dimension of leadership support, followed by the dimension of support for colleagues, then the complexity of work, and finally working hours. Also, the study results indicated that the employees opinions did not vary according to demographic variables, whether the balance between professional work and personal life or engaging in work. The research recommended improving working conditions, the organizational work environment, instructions, controls, and laws to help increase the employees’ integration into their work with conviction and comfort and reschedule official working hours to allow employees to practice their personal and social lives. |
