In the contemporary landscape of organizational dynamics, the interconnection between work-life balance, employee well-being, and the adoption of sustainable practices holds paramount significance. This research critically investigates the intricate relationship between employee well-being and the engagement in green work practices, emphasizing the pivotal role of work-life balance in fostering a culture of environmental sustainability.

Utilizing a comprehensive research framework that integrates qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this study explores the multi-dimensional facets of employee well-being and its influence on the adoption of environmentally conscious work practices. Through a thorough analysis of existing literature and empirical data, the research unearths the complex dynamics at play, shedding light on the interconnected nature of employee well-being and their commitment to sustainability initiatives within organizational settings.

The findings underscore the importance of creating an organizational ecosystem that prioritizes employee well-being through flexible work arrangements, supportive work cultures, and comprehensive well-being programs. Furthermore, the study highlights the critical need for organizational strategies that align sustainability goals with employee well-being initiatives, thereby fostering a holistic approach that promotes individual welfare alongside environmental stewardship.

By elucidating the reciprocal relationship between work-life balance, employee well-being, and the adoption of green work practices, this research contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse on sustainable organizational practices and social responsibility. The insights derived from this study serve as a guiding framework for organizations aiming to cultivate a sustainable work culture, placing emphasis on employee wellness and environmental responsibility in equal measure.
