This present study aims to investigate the effect of work-life balance and quality of work life on employee performance with gender as a mediating variable. This study was done in a quantitative manner using explanatory research approach. This study examined employees from PT XYZ – one of multi-finance companies in Central Java. The data was collected by distributing questionnaires and then analyzed using moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results confirm that both work-life balance and quality of work life have a positive effect on the employee performance in PT XYZ. Further, the gender is also proven to moderate the effect of both work-life balance and quality of work life on the employee performance in PT XYZ. The use of gender as the mediating variable in this study contribute to the work-life balance literature, which makes it a differentiating factor from previous researches.
