Abstract: The banking industry witnessed vast changes in its schemes and policies in recent years. In order to improve employee performance, it is important to determine various factors contributing towards performance. In this research, we identified impact of work life balance and personality traits on perceived performance of employees. A theoretical structure model was created, by integrating three variables of work life balance (WLB) and five traits of personality and their impact on perceived performance. Three major variables, i.e., organisational support, work pressure, and self-development, of WLB have been tested through exploratory factor analysis. Further, the impact of the above three variables along with the big five traits of personality have been tested on perceived performance using regression analysis. Findings show positive correlation of different factors of WLB and five traits of personality with perceived performance. This study turned out to be more fundamental in order to improve performance of employees.
