Abstract
This study examined the association between employability, work life
balance; and subjective career success; and ii) the mediating role of work
life balance. The population comprised of IT sector organizations
registered with The Pakistan Software House Association (P@SHA). A
survey (N=495) based on a multistage sampling was employed.
Employability enables an individual to create, identify and realize career
opportunities. The instrument used in this study was adapted (DiRenzo,
2010; McArdle, Waters, Briscoe, & Hall, 2007). Correlation and
mediation analysis were conducted. Results indicated i) relationship
among key variables; and ii) a partial mediating role of WLB was also
supported. The cross section design limits the understanding so a cohort
longitudinal study may be undertaken in the future. Focusing on one
industry may have led to less variability in sample. Recommendation is to
provide facilities and developmental opportunities to employees. In
future inclusion of other factors like organizational climate was suggested
