In the highly competitive world, the organization’s success depends on the performance of human resources. The banking sector is no exception to this. A satisfied, happy, and hardworking employee is the biggest asset of any organization. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between work-life balance, job satisfaction, and job performance of bankers. A total of 100 participants from different public and private banks in Dhaka city were selected purposely. Among them, 50 were male, and 50 were female. Data was collected through four questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS version 25. Results revealed a significant and positive relationship between work-life balance, job satisfaction, and job performance. The results also revealed that work-life balance and job satisfaction predict job performance individually and jointly, where job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of job performance. The findings of this study provide a better understanding of those aspects which may be helpful for practitioners, academicians, researchers, human resource managers, students, as well as general people in our society. This study integrates the concepts of work-life balance, job satisfaction, and job performance. Therefore, the study adds value to the literature on human resource management.
