The Impact of Work-Life Balance and Mental Health Well-Being on Women's Performance in the Workplace
This study examines the complex relationship between work-life balance (WLB), mental health well-being, and women's performance in the workplace. Drawing on the Spillover Theory, it examines how experiences in personal and professional domains influence each other, particularly for women navigating dual roles. Through a systematic review of existing literature, the research identifies that effective WLB and robust mental health support significantly enhance women's productivity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. On the contrary, poor integration of work and personal life, coupled with inadequate mental health resources, contributes to stress, burnout, and diminished performance. The findings underscore the importance of supportive workplace environments, flexible policies, and mental health initiatives in fostering women's well-being and optimizing their contributions at work. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for organizations to implement inclusive practices that promote both balance and psychological resilience among female employees.
