“…Knowledge management will help organizations absorb different opinions and experiences, thereby improving quality in the decision-making process. Knowledge management will make it easier to find information and find people who have the information needed by the organization (Darroch, 2005;Knorr-Siedow & Tosics, 2005;Mendis, M.D.V.S. and Weerakkody, 2014;Musa & Usman, 2012).…”

Effectiveness training can encourage teacher performance and knowledge management, and soft-skill competence to strengthen the relationship—this study conducted with a quantitative approach. The analysis tool uses SEM-Amos version 23. The population in this study were 18240 teachers in South Sulawesi Province. The sample was determined by accidental technique, with a sampling target of at least 100 people who filled in early. Only 236 teachers filled out the questionnaire until the specified time limit, and it was declared complete. Effectiveness training proved to encourage teacher performance improvements during the COVID-19 pandemic. This empirical evidence answers the researcher's assumptions and, at the same time, adds to the limited reference to the relationship of the conceptual framework built in this study. This study shows that practical training can encourage internal organizational development, especially in improving employees' ability to share and problem-solve to enhance teachers' skills.

“…This would eventually make them focus more on their job as their worries about their life had been casted aside resulting in lower presenteeism. This result was supported by empirical studies that have showed positive effect of work-life balance on employees' performance and organizational performance (Hussein et al, 2018;Johari et al, 2018;Mendis & Weerakkody, 2014) and on job satisfaction, commitment and productivity (Mukururi & Ngari, 2014). Nevertheless, poor work-life balance will negatively affect the employees' perceived job stress, hence reducing the productivity of the employees (Bell et al, 2012).…”

“…Personal factors such as personality traits together with health have been found to lead to presenteeism (Aronsson & Gustafsson, 2005). The importance of work-life balance was proved by empirical studies which found work-life balance to be positively related to employees' performance, organizational performance and job productivity (Ailabouni et al, 2010;Bell et al, 2012;Johari et al, 2018;Mendis & Weerakkody, 2014;Mukururi & Ngari, 2014;Muzamil & Khurshid, 2014) that are negatively influencing presenteeism. Materialism as the third important factor contributing to presenteeism among these service sector employees was found to be positively influencing presenteeism.…”

“…Work-life balance involves the modification of work arrangements so as to allow workers to amalgamate work responsibilities and family tasks. Satisfying a healthy work-life balance is a matter which has increased recognition being strategic and important to the organisations since the hours at which an individual employee is scheduled to work and work-life balance affects their mental, health, physical and well-being (Mendis & Weerakkody, 2014).

Work-life balance is basically the positive relationship between work and other equally important activities in life which include family, leisure, personal development, and community development issues. The relationship cannot be clearly defined and varies from person to person according to their life demands. Work-life balance is intended to allow employees greater flexibility in their working patterns so that they can balance what they do at work with the responsibilities and interests they have outside work. This study sought to assess flexible work arrangements and employee performance in agricultural co-operatives in Kericho County. The study was anchored on spillover theory. A correlational research design was adopted. The target population of the study was all the employees working in agricultural co-operatives in Kericho County, who are 210 employees and a sample size of 137 respondents. The study utilised primary data collected using both structured and unstructured questionnaires. The study use means and standard deviation as descriptive analysis. Correlation analysis was used to test the hypothesis and the relationship between the study variables. The study found that flexible work arrangement was achieved through employee reorganisation, schedule and development shifts. This reduced absenteeism, expanded the number of hours of giving out service and enabled employees to seek new roles. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between flexible work arrangements and employee performance (R = 0.801, p < 0.05). The study concluded that the flexible work arrangement and teleworking had a significant positive effect on employee performance. The study recommended that the Agricultural societies should improve flexible work arrangements through the adoption of ICT infrastructure.
