With the current competitive and technology aggressive workplace, workers are finding it more difficult to balance between professional duties and personal and family life. The life-long working hours, job demands and never ending connection have rendered employees unable to have healthy work and life integration. The concept of work-life harmony has thus become a critical issue which concentrates on good integration of work and personal roles as opposed to having a rigid balance. This research is aimed at investigation of the correlation between work-life harmony and job performance among employees. The work is conducted in accordance with descriptive research design and is supported with primary data obtained after the use of a structured questionnaire among the employees of various organizational backgrounds. The variables of workload, job stress, flexibility and organizational support were taken into consideration to determine their level of influence on work-life harmony and job performance. Analysis of the data was done using simple statistical tools like a percentage analysis and correlation analysis. Results of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation between work-life harmony and job performance. Workers whose work and personal lives are in a positive balance are more productive, have quality work and greater job effectiveness. The research reveals the significance of organizational support and employee friendly policies that foster the work-life harmony and the overall performance of the employees.
