“…According to the COR model, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees facing daily work-related problems, that could lead to job insecurity may also experience a reduction in life satisfaction and quality [39]. Furthermore, continuous stress and tension will reduce life satisfaction, even if employees leave their workplace [40].…”

Background:The effect of COVID-19 on the manufacturing industry in China has resulted in increased employee psychological pressure and job insecurity. This study uses a theoretical model to identify the links between job insecurity and life satisfaction, and further explores the multilevel moderating effect underlying these links. Methods: Based on the conservation of resources theory, a hierarchical linear model is utilized to test the relationships among cross-level variables. The data comprises 528 valid questionnaires from 43 manufacturing companies in China. Results: The research results show that both perceived control (individual level) and work-life balance programs (organizational level) positively moderate the relationship between job insecurity and life satisfaction. Conclusions: This study contributes toward identifying the effect of employees' psychological status and job insecurity on life satisfaction, and further confirms two different level moderators that alleviate the negative relationship between job insecurity and life satisfaction. Whether different genders have an effect on perception of life satisfaction is also considered, and the results show that men perceive significantly greater life satisfaction than women. Finally, based on the research findings, practical and theoretical implications are proposed.

“…When it is impossible to effectively balance the roles of family and work due to resource constraints (such as time and energy), there will be conflicts between the two roles [12]. Work family conflict is one of the important sources of stress [13] and it will decrease job satisfaction [14] and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) [15], bring about job insecurity [16], role overload [17], and pressure [18], even leading to deviation from the organization and counterproductive behavior [19], thus affecting the individual's job performance [20]. Previous studies have found that work-family conflict not only has a direct impact on job performance [21], but also indirectly affects job performance through mediating variables such as emotional exhaustion [22].…”

Survey data from 226 service employees were used to test the hypothesized moderating role of chronic self-regulatory focus on the relationships between work–family conflict (WFC) and challenge/hindrance strain. A follow-up scenario-based experiment (N = 93 executives) confirmed the results of the hypothesized model. Results from the two studies together demonstrated the moderating role of self-regulatory processes: chronic promotion-focused individuals perceived WFC as a challenge-type strain, while chronic prevention-focused individuals viewed WFC as a hindrance-type strain. Individuals use self-regulation strategically: in work domains, they regulate themselves so that family does not interfere with work. Individuals’ stress perceptions differ depending on the two dimensions of WFC as they regard interferences from (WIF) as a personal challenge, perhaps affording them an opportunity to balance work and life and to refine their abilities, but interferences from family to work (FIW) act as a barrier preventing them from achieving career success. When two-way interactions between WIF/FIW and chronic promotion/prevention foci were taken into consideration, the WIF/FIW main effects on challenge/hindrance stress became insignificant, suggesting that chronic self-regulation fully moderated the relationship. The results extend the current work–family research by incorporating self-regulatory processes as an important moderating variable, suggesting new research directions. The findings can help human resource management establish policies and benefit programs that take individual differences into account.

“…Work after hours can be an impact on the increase or the decrease in the work life balance, which depends on actual and real situation of employees (Ruppanner & Maume, 2016) (Abbas, Fatima, & Imran, 2019). Further, the increase in job security will be increasing the work life balance of the employees and the vice versa, and it has been proved in the literature (Minnotte & Yucel, 2018) (Dong, Zhao, Yin, & Chen, 2020). Accordingly, the hypotheses were tested and the objectives were achieved successfully.…”

Apparel industry in Sri Lanka can be identified as one of the main industries in the country, and it largely contributes to the economy of the country. The sector employs about 15% of the country's workforce, and the country is recorded as the highest apparel exports per capita nation in the Asian region. ABC Apparel Company is the one of the leading apparel manufacturing and exporting organizations operating globally with a workforce of more than 40,000. It is found that the operational level employees of the organization tend to have a high turnover, and the current status of the key performance indicators of HR is not at a very satisfactory level. The main reason behind the turnover is mostly the inability of the employees to balance their work and life with the excessive workload and working hours and work-related stress, which lead to frequent absenteeism. Thus, this research study was planned to investigate the impact of occupational stress on operational level employees’ work-life balance in ABC Apparel Company in Sri Lanka. The findings of the research analysis indicate that the sample consists of a higher percentage of females, and many are single in the age group of 20 to 30 years with the highest educational level of G.C.E. Advanced Level and with the working experience in between 1 to 3 years. At the same time, the reliability of all the variables is in an accepted level, and the correlation of the variables is also significant. Also, the regression analysis provides the results that there are direct relationships in between the variables of job security and the work life balance and the role conflict and the work life balance, and further there are positive relationship between the work load, role ambiguity and work after hours with the work balance.
