effects of work-life balance policies and structures on the retention of employees at
DCG, effect of management support on employee retention, examined the existing
organization practices pertaining to work-life balance at DCG, and determined the
effect of sustainability of work-life balance at DCG in Tanzania.
The study employed a qualitative research approach and used exploratory design. It
involved a sample size of 52 respondents who were selected through the purposive and
