Abstract

Nowadays, mental peace is the key to performance, especially after the Covid pandemic, and work-life balance is the path to mental peace. To accomplish it, initiatives are needed to moderate employee behaviour in such a way as to give them work and life satisfaction for better work performance. With this objective, the WLB initiatives have been analyzed in this research as a moderator variable to see the effect on performance and how these initiatives boost mental peace and satisfaction. For this analysis; data were collected from different educational bodies in Noida (N=254 employees-from 50 different educational bodies), and the results showed a strong co-relationship between WLB initiatives and the performance of faculties due to the strong moderating effect of WLB initiatives and high satisfaction indicated the effective use of WLB initiatives as a psychological tool for mental peace. SPSS 26, Excel, and PLS software were used to determine the association.
