Abstract:   The study aims to investigate a causal relationship between variables under study. The central idea behind this research is to explore the influence of Work-Life Balance initiatives upon employees? perception of their organizational support, and whether such practices cultivate a sense in employees to work beyond their assigned duties. Primary Data comprises 540 respondents, derived from convenience sampling by using a survey questionnaire as a basic instrument for data collection. Sample size incorporates employees from several banking and telecom companies of Pakistan. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Path Analysis techniques by using AMOS have been applied to analyze data. The results indicate that there exists a significant relationship between Work-Life Balance (WLB) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) when fully mediated by Procedural Justice (PJ), designating the importance of Procedural Justice in nurturing a sense of organizational support. This proposes to the practitioners of Work-Life Balance (WLB) that the provision of only work-life balance initiatives is sterile towards achieving organizational goals unless equal and fair opportunities of benefitting from such initiatives are made available throughout the organization, ultimately harnessing perceived organizational support on part of the employees towards their respective organizations.
