    EFFECT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON EMPLOYEES PRODUCTIVITY: A CASE OF KAPROLEM SACCO IN BARINGO COUNTY, KENYA
    (Gretsa University, 2025-10) ROBERT KOMEN KIPROP
    This research meticulously explored the ascendancy of work life balance on employee productivity within Kaprolem SACCO, Baringo County, Kenya. In today’s increasingly competitive and fast-paced organizational ecosystem, maintaining equilibrium between occupational commitments and personal well-being has become a strategic determinant of workforce efficiency and institutional sustainability. The investigation was anchored on three primary objectives: to analyze the effect of flexible working arrangements on productivity, to assess the extent to which job stress management influences performance, and to examine the impact of organizational support systems on employees’ overall productivity.A descriptive research design was adopted, encompassing a target population of 100 employees across various operational departments within the SACCO. Baseline information was retrieved using structured questionnaires and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including correlation and regression analysis. The schorlary work outcomes indicated that flexible work arrangements, such as adaptable schedules and autonomy in task execution, significantly enhance productivity by fostering motivation, reducing fatigue, and improving time management. Similarly, effective stress management frameworks were observed to mitigate occupational strain, curtail burnout, and promote concentration. Moreover, organizational support systems—such as welfare initiatives, career progression opportunities, and empathetic leadership—were found to substantially augment employee morale, loyalty, and efficiency.The study concluded that work–life balance constitutes an indispensable pillar of organizational performance within the SACCO sector. It accentuated that employees who experience congruence between their professional and personal spheres tend to exhibit heightened commitment, satisfaction, and output. Consequently, the schorlarly work recommended that management should institutionalize flexible work policies, strengthen stress management programs, and reinforce support mechanisms that prioritize employee welfare. These reforms are cardinal to cultivating a resilient, motivated, and productive workforce capable of driving institutional excellence.Furthermore, the study proposed that future scholarly inquiries should extend beyond Kaprolem SACCO to incorporate a wider range of financial institutions across Kenya. Subsequent research could also integrate moderating variables such as leadership style, digital work tools, and employee engagement to provide a more holistic comprehension of work–life balance dynamics in emerging organizational contexts.
