Purpose: The demands and the needs of employees prompted the development of flexible work arrangements in the West. Using role conflict theory, the present study examines the relationship between the level of flexible work arrangements and the amount of work-life balance evident in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. Design/Methodology: The data were collected from employees currently working in the manufacturing sector. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. Findings: The results indicate a moderately strong positive correlation between flexible work arrangements and the work-life balance dimension. Originality: Previous studies have focused on work-life balance from the perspective of workplace characteristics. Other studies have examined flexible work arrangements provided to employees independently. Moreover, these studies have usually been conducted in the services and banking industries. However, the present research focuses on how flexible work arrangements influence the work life balance of employees in the manufacturing sector specifically.
