In today’s rapidly evolving organizational landscape, employee performance has become a cornerstone of institutional success. This study explores the influence of organizational culture on employee performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of work-life balance. Conducted in Amravati city, the research involved 75 employees from private sector banks—HDFC and ICICI—using a descriptive research design. Data was collected through structured questionnaires, with 97 initially distributed and 75 valid responses analyzed. Stratified disproportionate random sampling was adopted to ensure diverse representation. Both qualitative and quantitative data were utilized, with primary data collected firsthand and secondary data sourced from published materials. The study applies a structural mediation framework to examine the direct and indirect relationships among organizational culture, work-life balance, and performance. Findings are expected to offer theoretical insights and practical guidance for aligning organizational values with employee well-being to enhance productivity in post-pandemic workplaces.
