Description The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of perceived managerial support on the relationship between burnout, stress and absenteeism on employee commitment. Questionnaire surveys were administered to employees in the banking institutions in Kenya with 333 questionnaires successively collected out of 380 send to 38 banking institutions. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses and results show that burnout, stress, absenteeism has a negative effect on employee commitment. The results show that perceived managerial support moderated the relationships between burnout, stress, absenteeism and employee commitment, suggesting that perceived managerial support is always useful for mitigating the adverse effects of burnout, stress, and absenteeism on employee commitment. The present study had limitations in that data was collected from employees in the Banking institutions based in one region of the country which makes it difficult to conclude that the sample used a representative sample of the whole banking in Kenya. The findings of this study provide useful information for both practitioners and academics for the purpose of improving current policy on work-life balance.
