This study is aimed to explore the role of perceived work-life balance and job satisfaction in developing commitment among hospital employees. In addition to that, gender difference is also taken into consideration to draw concrete conclusion. The study is quantitative in nature. Based on the literature review it is proposed that work-life balance and satisfaction will be significantly contributing in developing commitment among the chosen respondents. In order to measure selected variables 13 items were adopted to measure work-life balance (Chaney, 2007; Gutak et.al., 1991). Job satisfaction is measured by Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). 11 items were selected from work commitment index to measure organizational commitment (Blau et al.,1993). Results revealed a moderate level of work-life balance, job satisfaction and organizational commitment among the chosen employees. Significant relationship is found between work-life balance and job satisfaction. Work interfering family life and family interfering work life are found positively related with organizational commitment. Male and female respondent are found significantly different in their level of commitment, perceived work interfering family life and perceived family interfering work life.
