The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of work-life balance outcomes toward employees. The research adopts the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The researcher conducts a literature review encompassing the search and analysis of initial data collected from databases such as Scopus, PsycInfo, Emerald, Sciencedirect, Sage and Springerlink. The systematic literature review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The systematic literature review retrieved a total of 38 articles. After undergoing several stages, 25 articles met the criteria and were subsequently subjected to a more in-depth analysis. The findings of this systematic literature review have been categorized into two main outcomes: individual and organizational outcome. By knowing the outcome of work-life balance, the organization can identify the positive and negative impact of work-life balance for both individual and organization. Moreover, it also can be used to gain deeper insight into the importance of balancing work and personal life, as well as its implications in both individual and organization context.
