Impact of work–life policies on organizational commitment of construction professionals: role of work–life balance
This paper examines the relationship between work–life policies (WLPs) and organizational commitment, and determines if work–life balance (WLB) mediates in the relationship as it concerns female construction professionals. The study adopted a quantitative research method to obtain data from 120 women professionals in the Nigerian construction industry. The paper presents a conceptual model to formulate hypotheses which were tested using PLS-SEM path analysis. The findings indicate that WLB enhances positive organizational commitment, because it partially mediates the relationship between WLPs and organizational commitment. The contribution of this study is that it affords managers and employees the opportunity to understand the significance of providing WLPs that will enable employees to balance their work and family responsibilities, which in turn increases organizational commitment. This research, the first of its kind, focused on the work–life balance of female construction professionals in the Nigerian construction industry, and the findings have implications for both practitioners and academics.
