Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between work-related variables and work–life balance (and its dimensions). The study sought to determine the most significant predictors of work–life balance of nurses. The study was conducted through a sample of 216 nurses employed in various government hospitals of Himachal Pradesh. The data thus collected have been analysed with the help of SPSS 17. In order to analyse the data, the statistical tools, viz., Pearson correlation coefficient and Independent sample t-test were used. The findings of the study demonstrated that there is significant correlation between various work-related variables and work–life balance (and its dimensions). Work-related variables, viz., task variety, work ambiguity, work autonomy and work role overload have a significant impact on the work–life balance of the respondents.
