Work-life balance is a topic of great importance to both academic research and professional business practice. Nowadays, most businesses on a global scale are undergoing a significant paradigm shift in their work environments, which leads to the enhanced focus on empowering employees to possess multitasking skills and greater competencies in order to promote sustainable organisational growth. In organisations, emotional intelligence, individual performance and work-life balance will provide a significant contribution to an appropriate balance between work and personal life. Thus, the competitiveness of the world has encouraged employers to start building up a supportive and healthy work environment culture with the purpose of enabling their employees to have a balance between work and personal responsibilities to ensure that they will be more productive and happier. This dramatic change have encouraged researchers to further investigate the impact of emotional intelligence on individual performance and work-life balance.
