The Dynamics of Work-Life Balance and Organizational Behavior in the Modern Era

Technological advancements and structural shifts in the modern workplace have driven significant transformations in human resource management, particularly in how organizations strive to maintain employee work-life balance (WLB). Phenomena such as remote working, flexible working hours, and high productivity demands have introduced new challenges directly impacting organizational behaviour—manifested through employee engagement, job satisfaction, organizational loyalty, and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). This study aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize empirical literature that explores the relationship between WLB and organizational behaviour in the modern work environment. Employing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA protocol, this study examines 40 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 across various national and international indexed databases. The literature selection process consisted of four stages: identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion, using criteria such as topical relevance, methodological quality, and contextual applicability. The findings indicate that WLB is positively associated with several indicators of organizational behaviour, including increased organizational commitment, enhanced work motivation, and reduced turnover intention. However, this relationship is not universal, as it is moderated by contextual factors such as organizational culture, industry type, employee age, and gender. The study also reveals that managerial interventions—such as flexible work policies, supervisory support, and digital technologies—play a crucial role in strengthening the positive impact of WLB on organizational behaviour. The implications of these findings contribute theoretically to the development of an adaptive organizational behaviour framework in the modern era and provide practical guidance for HR managers in designing work policies that support employee well-being. Furthermore, this study proposes a future research agenda to explore further the dynamics of WLB and organizational behaviour in more diverse global contexts.
