Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of work life balance on leader’s performance. Using a primary data gathered from 67 managerial employees from Nile Insurance Company’s Head office and Addis Ababa city branches through self administered questionnaires, the current study tested the hypotheses by employing correlation and regression analysis which are computed through SPSS version 24. The work life balance factors examined in this research were: work interference with personal life (WIPL), personal life interference with work (PLIW), perceived organizational support (POS), and perceived social support (PSS).The findings reveal that only perceived organizational support (POS) have a direct and significant effect on the job performance while the other three independent variables have no direct and strong relationship with the dependent variable (i.e. JP). It is recommended that the company shall have work life balance polices that assist managers to improve their performance at individual as well as organizational level. Similarly, the welfare policies shall be designed in a way that is helpful to managerial employees with more parental as well as societal responsibilities
