Abstract

Abstract: In contemporary corporate environments, work-life balance and physical health have emerged as crucial factors influencing job performance. This study looks into how these elements affect workers' output in an Indian workplace. Descriptive statistics, reliability testing, correlation, and multiple regressions were among the statistical analyses carried out in SPSS using a structured questionnaire and data from 100 respondents. The results showed that while physical well-being and work-life balance are correlated, they do not directly affect each other statistically significantly. In contrast, work-life balance significantly and favorably predicts job performance. About 37% of the variance in job performance was explained by the regression model, and Cronbach's alpha values showed that the scales were reasonably reliable. In order to improve employee productivity, the study emphasizes how important it is for Indian businesses to invest in health-supportive policies and create flexible work environments. In order to direct future research in this developing field, limitations and implications are also examined.
