This paper provides an insight into the Work life balance of Oil & Gas Public Sector Employees. Work-life balance has been one of the main topics of research in the academic and business field over the last few years. One of the ways to increase turnover and improve efficiency would be to enhance the work-life balance of an organisation's employees. The general hypothesis stated in the research pertains to the relationship between Work life balance, Job stress, Role expectation, Co-worker support and Work-family relation. The control variables assessed in the design was the participants’ gender. A quantitative research method is selected and questionnaire is used as the research instrument to collect data. The questionnaire contained 24 close-ended items- focusing on four domains, mainly, Job stress (anxiety and time stress); Co-worker support; Role expectation conflict and Work-family conflict. There are 129 samples randomly selected from 5 Oils & Gas Public Sector Units (males= 99, females=30). The data collected is analysed by using Statistical Packages for Social Science Version 21.0 (SPSS Version 21.0) software.
