The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between women’s work-family balance and work performance among working women in West Malaysia. With the purpose of accomplishing the aforesaid objectives, a survey is carried out within West Malaysia among 11 states in West Malaysia. A quantitative technique is used for data collection. For this purpose, 395 questionnaire was distributed to working women from different working organisations and 384 questionnaires were returned back. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) were used for data analysis by assuming ANOVA, coefficient, correlation, normality, reliability, and regression analysis testings. Hence, the study found a statistically significant positive relationship between work-family and job performance among working women. It also found that a significant positive relationship exists between work-family balance dimension and job performance. Further, satisfaction balance is identified as the major contributor to job performance. It is anticipated that improving the work performance of women will not only increase organizational productivity but will also boost financial performance. As a result, the corporation and female employees have recommended that individuals focus on their engagement and satisfaction balance to improve their productivity or job performance.
