Organizational policies supporting work-life balance have significant implications on employees’ attitude, behavior and the overall organizational effectiveness. The objective of this research is to explore the work-life balance as a mediating variable between organizational commitment (OC) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study explores the impact of work-life balance on OC and its influence on OCB. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used for the validation of the scales used in the research and for exploration of the factors included in work-life balance, OC and OCB. The construct reliability of the data has been calculated and then Confirmatory Factor Analysis was done. The mediation analysis is shown through Sobel test and Baron and Kenny‘s equation of total effect. The research concludes that WLB is a mediator between OC and OCB.
