Work-Life Balance in Construction: Enhancing Job Performance Through Employee Well-being Strategies

Abstract

Description

This dataset comprises responses from 80 construction professionals in Lagos, Nigeria, examining the interplay between Work-Life Balance (WLB) practices and job performance. Variables include demographics (age, education, work hours, company type), WLB practices (e.g., flexible arrangements, parental leave, health programs), and job performance metrics (task speed, quality, adherence to timelines). Data was collected via structured questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale. Analyses included reliability testing (Cronbach’s α = 0.904), Mann-Whitney U tests (identifying significant differences in WLB practices between company types), and Spearman correlations (noting moderate links between parental leave/childcare benefits and performance outcomes). The dataset supports insights into WLB adoption levels and their organizational impacts in Nigeria’s construction sector.
