📖 ABSTRACT/OVERVIEW
The Nigerian banking sector is characterised by high performance demands and extended working hours, creating significant work-life balance challenges particularly for female employees who simultaneously manage domestic responsibilities. This study examines the relationship between work-life balance and burnout among female employees in commercial banks in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory. A descriptive cross-sectional survey is applied to 230 female bank employees selected through convenience sampling from five commercial banks in Wuse, Garki, and Central Business District. The Work-Life Balance Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory are administered alongside a questionnaire capturing weekly working hours, number of children, supervisory role status, and perceived organisational support. Pearson correlation and multiple regression are computed in SPSS. Available occupational psychology literature from Nigeria's banking sector identifies extended overtime, inadequate parental leave policies, and lack of flexible work arrangements as the dominant work-life balance stressors, with emotional exhaustion as the most prevalent burnout dimension among female bank workers. The Conservation of Resources Theory by Hobfoll and the Job Demands-Resources Model provide the theoretical framework. Findings are expected to demonstrate a significant negative relationship between work-life balance and burnout, with supervisory role moderating this relationship. Results will inform HR policy recommendations for Nigerian commercial banks regarding female employee well-being. Keywords: work-life balance, burnout, female employees, banking sector, Abuja.
