Abstract
Work Life balance Culture (WLC) measures the perception of the employees about the organizations' support for Work-Life Balance (WLB). The present work proposes to develop an extended measure of WLB by adding WLC as a new dimension to the study and measurement of WLB. The existing works do not take WLC into consideration while developing measurement scales for WLB. A scale consisting of 35 statements has been developed for WLB measurement and the employees of IT organizations of South India were chosen for the study. Dimensions (factors) were resolved through factor analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis and Regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. By adding WLC as a new dimension, the present study revealed additional factors which affect WLB besides the factors established through earlier works.
