Abstract: Given the crucial role that work-life balance plays in the well-being of employees, the literature devotes extensive research efforts towards determining the effect of different variables on the quality of work-life balance of employees. In this study, the researchers probe the compound relationship between external and internal locus of control, levels of perceived stress at work, and work-life balance. This study focuses in exploring the role of gender in the relationship between the aforementioned variables. A sample of 320 employees (160 females and 160 males) working in the Lebanese banking sector contribute to the empirical results of this research.
