Abstract
This study investigated the effect of work life balance on employee productivity in Agbor, Delta
state. Specific objectives are: to evaluate the influence of flexible working arrangements on
employee performance, to determine the effect of Time management on employee performance
and to analyze the effect of Telecommuting on work life balance on employee performance in
hotels in Agbor, Delta state. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of
the study comprises 156 hotel staff in selected hotels in Agbor, Delta State. Since the total
population is relatively small, the study employed a census sampling technique where all
identified staff from selected hotels were included in the study. Data were collected from
primary sources through the use of structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using

study showed that flexible working arrangements have a significant and positive influence on
employee performance in hotels in Agbor, Delta State (R² = 0.479, p = .000). Time
management strategies have a statistically significant and positive effect on employee
performance in hotels in Agbor, Delta State (R² = 0.526, p = .000). Telecommuting has a
statistically significant and positive effect on employee performance in hotels in Agbor, Delta
State (R² = 0.460, p = .000). It was concluded that the hospitality industry in Agbor has yet to
fully embrace or institutionalize these practices. Organizational leaders must therefore rethink
existing workplace models and implement flexible policies tailored to employee well-being. It
