dc.description.abstractDrawing on the Conservation of Resources theory, this study investigates work demands and their influence on positive and negative affect. In addition, work-life balance is included as a mediator. It is expected that while work demands are detrimental to affect and work-life balance, the direct effect on affect will be mediated by work-life balance. While much is known about these factors in Western economies, there is a lack of insights into more unique cultures like Pakistan. Furthermore, the links between work-life balance and affect are less common, making this a worthwhile outcome to explore. Overall, data came from 101 Pakistan managers. Analysis included direct effects and mediation analysis, using the PROCESS macro (including indirect effects). Overall, strong support for the study model was found. Indeed, while work demands were negative to positive affect and work-life balance, and positive to negative affect, these effects were fully mediated by work-life balance. However, examining the indirect effects showed that work demands still play a significant and detrimental role on affect. The findings highlight that while the influence work-life balance on affect is important, it is still important to consider the role of work demands. Overall, the study highlights the importance of work roles on the affect of Pakistan managers. The implications for HRM and researchers are discussed.
