While employers in advanced economies recognize the benefits of work-life balance programs, employers in Nigeria consider them unprofitable. Previous studies have recommended the implementation of work-life balance initiatives by business owners in the country; however, most of these studies were exploratory and focused on identifying work-life balance concerns among workers. Researchers also concentrated on certain sectors of the economy, mainly banking, which does not provide employers with sufficient information to understand the benefits of work-life balance for organizational operations. Based on the Work-Family Enrichment Theory, this study aims to investigate the relationship between work-life balance and employee commitment and examine the influence of demographic factors on employee commitment among journalists in Nigeria. A sample of 169 respondents was drawn from the 396 journalists working in radio stations in Kano, Nigeria. A questionnaire was used to collect data, and correlation analysis, the Mann-Whitney test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were employed to test the research hypotheses. The correlation analysis indicated a strong positive relationship between work-life balance and employee commitment, showing that work-life balance significantly influences employee commitment. However, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test results revealed no significant mean difference in employee commitment among journalists in Kano, Nigeria, based on demographic factors. These findings suggest that implementing work-life balance programs in Nigeria is worthwhile, as a balanced work-life experience translates into higher employee commitment. The researcher recommends that future studies focus on work-life balance initiatives that appeal to Nigerian workers and expand the study population by conducting similar research at regional or national levels, incorporating journalists from other media sectors.

| summary | There is evidence from studies on Nigeria's work environment indicating the absence of a work-life balance culture among business organizations in the country, which is seen as one of the challenges to establishing an ethical and effective work environment. While employers in advanced economies recognize the benefits of work-life balance programs, employers in Nigeria consider them unprofitable. Previous studies have recommended the implementation of work-life balance initiatives by business owners in the country; however, most of these studies were exploratory and focused on identifying work-life balance concerns among workers. Researchers also concentrated on certain sectors of the economy, mainly banking, which does not provide employers with sufficient information to understand the benefits of work-life balance for organizational operations. Based on the Work-Family Enrichment Theory, this study aims to investigate the relationship between work-life balance and employee commitment and examine the influence of demographic factors on employee commitment among journalists in Nigeria. A sample of 169 respondents was drawn from the 396 journalists working in radio stations in Kano, Nigeria.
