| dc.description.abstract | The workplace is going through a paradigm shift marked by the presence of employees from four different generations. Yet globally, governments, organizations, and individual health workers have limited guidance on how to facilitate successful ageing at work. The present study adopts the innovative theory to test the influence of work-life balance and work engagement on successful ageing at work in Uganda's health sector. It employed a quantitative approach and specifically a correlational design. The sample consisted of 220 participants from a Municipality health sector, determined using the census sampling design. The study utilized a statistical package for social scientists (SPSS), specifically Pearson’s correlation and regression tests to assess the hypotheses. Significant findings indicated that work-life balance and work absorption were significantly associated. Work-life balance and work engagement had 1.5% predictive power over variations in successful ageing at work. However, work-life balance was a highly significant predictor of variance in successful ageing. Human resource policies and practices aimed at sustaining an optimum balance between work and family life including acceptable work schedules, working from home, maternity and paternal leaves; and semi-retirement adjustment counselling and guidance are indicated | |
