Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of work-family balance on job satisfaction and stress in government employees.
Methodology: a causal, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was conducted, collecting data through an anonymous survey of 341 participants.
Findings: work-family reconciliation had moderate levels, standing out among university staff. Low level of work stress was observed. Job satisfaction levels ranged from moderate to high. The correlations indicate that a positive perception of work-life balance is associated with better work control, and improved relationship with supervisors and collaborators.
Practical implications: The findings give a valuable perspective to improve human resource management in public institutions and ensure a healthy and balanced work environment in public institutions.
Originality/value: this study highlights the importance of work-life balance to improve satisfaction and reduce work stress in public institutions.
