WLB = Work Life Balance

Do females and males have different perceptions regarding work life balance?

Step 1: H0: Females and males do not have different perceptions regarding work life balance.

Step 2: H1: Females and males do have different perceptions regarding work life balance

Step 3: Independent T-test is conducted

S4: Critical significance value = 0.05

S5: Decision Rule

If the calculated significance (SPSS output) <0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected

S6: The p-value being 0.340 > 0.05, we choose the value from the first row (equal variance assumed)
to compare with 0.05, the value is higher than 0.05.

S7: we fail to reject the null hypothesis. It can be concluded that males and females do not have
different perception regarding work life balance.

S8: We cannot draw any conclusion from these finding. It is suitable for us not to give any
recommendation which are not based on statistical evidence. The company should not create any
campaign suggesting females and males have different perceptions regarding work life balance

WLB = Work Life Balance

WFC = Work Family Conflict

Does Work life balance influence the work family conflict?

S1: H0: there is not any correlation between work life balance and work family conflict

S2: h1: there is an correlation between work life balance and work family conflict

S3: Correlation test is used

S4: Critical significance value = 0.05

S5: Decision Rule

If the calculated significance (SPSS output) < 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected

S6: The p-value (0.000) is less than 0.05

Pearson correlation = -0.608

S7: the null hypothesis is rejected. It can be concluded that there is an correlation between work life
balance and work family conflict. The Pearson correlation illustrates the negative and moderate
correlation between wlb and wfc.

S8: It is recommended that in order to increase wlb, the wfc should be decrease by multiple
methods such as self managed
