dc.description.abstractThe study examined the influence of job goal setting on employee work-life balance using experience from Public Service Social Security Fund. Specifically, the study intended to investigate how job planning, job monitoring and appraisal feedback influence employees’ work-life balance in terms of working hours using a sample size of 109 employees. The study applied cross-sectional design and quantitative approach, where, data were collected and analysed quantitatively to establish the relationships between variables. Data were analysed using Multiple Liner Regression model. The results show that job planning through job specificity and task deadlines negatively influence work-life balance. Monitoring through supervisors’ availability negatively influences work-life balance. Appraisal feedback in terms of its timeliness negatively influences work-life balance, while clarity of appraisal feedback positive influence work-life balance. Therefore, the study concludes that job planning, job monitoring and appraisal feedback influence employee work-life balance. The study recommends that supervisors should set specific job objectives and realistic deadlines. Also, supervisors should be available to their subordinates. Supervisors should also provide timely appraisal feedback, while refraining themselves from overemphasizing on clarification of appraisal feedback. On the other hand, employees should emphasise on specificity of job objectives and require tasks to have realistic deadlines. Further, the study recommends that, employees should focus on requiring timely feedback from their supervisors, but they should not focus much on seeking for clarification of appraisal feedback unless it is necessary.en_US
