Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of employee performance in the Service Industry in Malaysia, with a specific focus on work-life balance, job satisfaction, employee motivation, and career development. 300 survey questionnaires were distributed in total, and 170 respondents from both executive and non-executive groups were analyzed using IBM's SPSS version 23. The findings validate a substantial correlation among work-life balance, job satisfaction, employee motivation, career development and employee performance at Non-Government organizations (NGO’s). This study provides significant insights that can be employed by NGO’s in Malaysia to design effective strategies for enhancing employee performance. The proposals aim to advance research on employee management to improve corporate effectiveness and promote employee success in NGOs as its strategic influence on government policy at domestic and international levels.
