Ashika G S, Dr.Subhadra P.S
This research paper explores the impact of workload, job stress, and work-life balance on employee productivity within the hospital sector. The study addresses key challenges faced by healthcare professionals, including excessive workload, high levels of job stress, and the difficulty of balancing personal and professional life. The study was conducted using a sample of 50 healthcare professionals, and statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, MANOVA, and correlation analysis were employed to analyse the relationships between these variables. The results indicate that a high workload and job stress negatively affect productivity, while work-life balance plays a significant positive role in enhancing employee performance. Moreover, organizational support and flexible work arrangements moderate the impact of stress and workload on productivity. The findings underscore the importance of developing effective strategies to reduce workload and stress, improve work-life balance, and introduce flexible work arrangements to enhance healthcare worker productivity.
