Abstract: This study investigated the influence of work-life balance on employees’ job engagement in banking sector of Pakistan.

The current study used a sample of 179 respondents from major commercial banks offering services in Punjab, Pakistan. The results revealed that work-life balance has a significant positive effect on employees’ job engagement and job stress partially mediated this relationship.
