ASSESSING BALANCE BETWEEN WORK AND LIFE IN IT PROFESSIONALS DURING REMOTE WORK: EVALUATING BURNOUT LEVELS AND JOB SATISFACTION IN IT SECTOR

This study examines variables affecting remote IST workers' burnout, balance between work and life, satisfaction in job, and performance. The rapid expansion of technology-intensive industries and their usage of remote and hybrid production techniques are causing workplace issues. Utilizing data from 402 IT professionals, the study found that the structural equation model established (PLS-SEM) and subsequently issued a Hypothesized relationships between constructs were statistically validated. The measurement model is a strong one, with reliability and validity figures considered to be acceptable convergent and discriminant validity. Work-life balance minimises burnout, boosts job satisfaction, and boosts performance. Work performance boosts job happiness, but burnout lowers it, according to one research. Both influence satisfaction to some degree whereas the amount of attention given to job satisfaction varied by an order of magnitude. The R2 adjusted of the job satisfaction model is 40.6% which demonstrated the medium-high fit of the results with the data. And, for the record, when it comes to IP analysis, it’s the work-life-balance driver that emerges as the most important single job satisfaction factor of all, yet right now its performance is paling next to job performance in terms of output. In addition to giving a plethora of strategic directions to organisations to build employee wellbeing and sustained productivity, the new results show that distant IT workers need work-life balance to succeed.
