Abstract The study aims to develop and test a model of work life balance of knowledge workers employing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) as the primary statistical technique to analyze the relationship among the constructs used which consist of Social support (Work Support, Non-Work Support), Work related factor leading to balance, Life related factor leading to balance, Organisational Commitment and Psychological Wellbeing. The model fit the data well and hypotheses are generally supported. The findings of the research showed that, absolute fit indices fits the sample data and reveals that the proposed model has the acceptable fit by way of satisfying the recommended values.
