Research on factors influencing the work-life balance of office employees in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing work-life balance and measure their impact on office employees in Ho Chi Minh City. Based on the analysis results, several managerial implications are proposed to enhance employees' work-life balance. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. After refining the research model through expert interviews, the author conducted a survey of 282 office employees using a convenience sampling method. The collected data were processed using SPSS software, applying regression analysis, T-Test, and ANOVA. The findings indicate that employee’s mental strength has the most significant impact on work-life balance, followed by job engagement and support networks. Conversely, workload and role conflict exert a negative influence. Additionally, the study reveals significant differences in work-life balance levels based on income, marital status, and yoga/meditation habits
